The PS852 F2 Equilateral Dispersive Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical equipment. This prism is designed for use in a variety of applications, particularly where dispersion and beam deviation are critical factors.
The prism is made from F2 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It has a cubic geometry, with each side measuring 25mm, making it a substantial yet manageable size for most optical systems. The prism's base shape is a volume prism, and its shape is equilateral, meaning all its angles are equal. This specific shape is often used in applications where a high degree of dispersion is required.
The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired, or where cost is a significant factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may have higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths, which could impact the performance of your optical system.
The prism is designed for use at a wavelength of 632.8nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It's currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, ensuring quick delivery for your optical project needs.
