14PP-3 N-BK7 Penta Prism; 25.4mm Uncoated

The 14PP-3 N-BK7 Penta Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Standa, a renowned vendor in the field. This prism is designed for use with a wavelength of 632.8nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The prism is made from N-BK7 Schott, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is characterized by a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock. It also has a high homogeneity and low optical dispersion, making it ideal for use in precision optical systems.

The prism features a Penta Prism shape, which is a five-sided prism with a 90-degree angle between two of its faces. This design allows for a total beam deviation of 1.5707963267948966 radians, or approximately 90 degrees. This can be useful in a variety of applications, such as beam deflection, image rotation, and optical path straightening.

The prism has a base shape of Volume, meaning it is designed to be used in a volume-based optical system. It has dimensions of 25.4mm x 25.4mm x 25.4mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component.

Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can be used to enhance the performance of optical components in certain applications, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in situations where broadband anti-reflection is not required.
