The PS912 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of precision photonics. This prism is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott AG, known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold.
The prism features a right-angle design, which is ideal for redirecting light at 90 degrees without introducing additional dispersion. It has a base shape of volume and a shape of a right-angle prism, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in fields such as interferometry, beam manipulation, and imaging.
The prism's geometry is defined by a length (l) of 40 mm and a width (x) of 56.6 mm. This size makes it a versatile option for many optical systems, providing a good balance between compactness and light-handling capacity.
Notably, this prism is uncoated, meaning 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 considerations are a factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, and may require more careful handling and cleaning.
