The 14RAP-6-30-1 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Standa, a renowned vendor in the field of photonics. This prism is designed for use with a wavelength of 633 nanometers, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the visible light spectrum.
The prism is fabricated from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as BK7, is produced by Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass. The use of N-BK7 ensures high transmission and low dispersion, making this prism ideal for applications requiring precise light control and minimal distortion.
The prism features a right-angle design, which allows for 90-degree deflection of light. This is achieved through the prism's geometric specifications, which include dimensions of 25 millimeters by 25 millimeters. The base shape of the prism is a volume prism, which provides robust optical performance and ease of integration into various systems.
Notably, this prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain optical properties, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as lower cost and simplicity. However, it may be more susceptible to surface reflections, which could be a consideration for certain applications.
