The PS908 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field. This prism is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. The prism's right-angle design allows for precise refraction and reflection of light, making it ideal for a wide range of optical systems.
The prism has a length (l) of 20 millimeters and a base width (x) of 28.3 millimeters, providing a substantial optical path for light to traverse. Its uncoated surface allows for versatility in application, as it can be used with a wide range of wavelengths without the risk of coating interference. However, it's important to note that uncoated surfaces may have higher reflectivity, which could affect the efficiency of some optical systems.
This prism is designed for use in the visible spectrum, with a specified wavelength of 587.6 nanometers. This makes it suitable for use in applications such as spectroscopy, interferometry, and beam manipulation systems that operate in this wavelength range.
