PS992 N-BK7 Dove Prism; 15 mm Uncoated

The PS992 N-BK7 Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component designed for a wide range of applications. Manufactured by Thorlabs, this prism is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.

The prism features a Dove shape, which is characterized by its unique geometry and the way it inverts the image. This particular model has a base length (a) of 15 mm, a height (b) of 21.2 mm, and a length (l) of 63.4 mm. This size makes it suitable for various setups where compactness and high performance are required.

The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While coatings can improve transmission, reduce reflection, or provide other benefits, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain situations. For instance, it can offer more flexibility in terms of wavelength compatibility since coatings are often specific to certain spectral ranges.

This prism is designed to work with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, a common wavelength used in many applications. However, due to the properties of N-BK7 glass, it can be used with a broader range of wavelengths if needed.
