PS914 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 12.5 mm Uncoated

The PS914 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical elements. 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 features a right-angle design, making it ideal for use in applications where light needs to be reflected at a 90-degree angle.

The prism has a length (l) of 12.5 mm and a base width (x) of 17.7 mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component. It is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, spectroscopy, interferometry, and beam manipulation.

The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a bare glass surface is required. However, it is important to note that uncoated prisms may exhibit higher levels of reflection compared to coated prisms, which can lead to losses in optical power.

In terms of geometry, the prism is a volume prism, meaning it has a three-dimensional shape. This allows it to interact with light in a more complex manner compared to two-dimensional prisms, making it a versatile tool in optical systems.
