The PS812-A is a high-quality Wedge Prism offered by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This prism, with a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm), is designed for use within the wavelength range of 350-700 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The PS812-A features a wedge angle of approximately 0.198 degrees, leading to a beam deviation angle of 6 degrees. This specific design allows for precise beam manipulation and control, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring beam steering or deflection.
The prism is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The glass is coated with a broadband anti-reflection (AR) coating, denoted as 'tho a bbar' for both the front and back surfaces. This coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing transmission and improving overall system performance.
The prism's geometry includes a thickness of 8.11 mm and a thickness edge of 3 mm. The round wedge shape is designed for ease of use and integration into various optical systems.
