ADB-10 N-BK7 Pellin Broca Prism; 11.0mm Uncoated

The ADB-10 N-BK7 Pellin Broca Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This prism is a type of beam displacer, designed to deviate a beam of light by a specific angle without changing its direction of propagation. The Pellin Broca prism is a popular choice due to its ability to provide a large beam deviation with minimal loss of light.

This particular prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. N-BK7 is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number, low autofluorescence, and high transmittance across a wide range of wavelengths. The use of N-BK7 in this prism ensures high-quality optical performance.

The prism has a geometry defined by its dimensions a, b, phi, and h. Here, a measures 19mm, b measures 33mm, phi is 1.3689140922167127 radians, and h is 11mm. This specific geometry is characteristic of the Pellin Broca prism design, which allows for a beam deviation of 90 degrees.

The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be used to enhance the performance of optical components in specific applications, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in situations where broadband anti-reflection coatings are not required.
