The 14PP-2 N-BK7 Penta Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Standa, a reputable vendor in the industry. This prism is specifically designed for use in optical systems that require beam deviation and reflection.
The prism is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as BK7, is a borosilicate crown glass with a low refractive index and low dispersion, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
The prism's geometry is defined by its dimensions, with all sides measuring 12.7mm. This cube-like shape is typical of Penta Prisms, which are known for their ability to deviate a beam by a fixed angle of 90 degrees while maintaining the original beam's height and width. The beam deviation angle for this prism is 1.5707963267948966 radians.
This particular model is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial in certain applications, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in others, such as when broadband anti-reflection coatings are not required.
