The ADBV-10 CaF2 Pellin Broca Prism is a specialized optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This prism is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, particularly where precise beam deviation and dispersion control are required.
The prism is made from Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), a material with a high damage threshold and excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high-power laser handling or broadband light transmission.
The Pellin Broca prism design is particularly notable for its ability to deviate and disperse light beams without introducing additional aberrations. This prism features dimensions of 19mm x 33mm x 11mm, providing a substantial optical path length for efficient light manipulation. The prism's base shape is a volume prism, which is optimal for applications requiring a large prism apex angle.
The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surfaces. This can be advantageous in certain applications where specific coating properties are not required. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may exhibit higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths and angles of incidence.
