The PS858 F2 Equilateral Dispersive Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical instruments. This prism is designed for use in a variety of applications, particularly where dispersion and angular deviation are critical factors.
The prism is made from F2 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It has a cuboid shape with each side measuring 20mm, making it a compact yet powerful tool for 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 ensures maximum dispersion and minimal loss of light, making it ideal for applications such as spectroscopy and laser beam shaping.
The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial in certain applications, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in others, such as when the user wants to avoid any potential interference from the coating or when cost-effectiveness is a priority.
The PS858 F2 Equilateral Dispersive Prism is designed to work with a wavelength of 632.8nm, a common wavelength used in many optical systems. It is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, ensuring quick delivery for your optical project needs.
