The PS862 CaF2 Equilateral Dispersive Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This prism is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where dispersion and beam deviation are critical factors.
The prism is made from Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), a material with a high transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission and low absorption, such as laser systems, interferometry, and spectroscopy.
The prism is equilateral, meaning all three angles and sides are equal. This design ensures that the prism provides maximum dispersion while minimizing beam deviation. The prism's geometry is defined by its dimensions, with each side measuring 10mm. This compact size makes it suitable for use in confined spaces and multi-element optical systems.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While this can result in higher losses due to reflection, it also means that the prism is less susceptible to damage from environmental factors, making it a robust choice for many applications.
