The PS992M N-BK7 SM1-Mounted Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component manufactured by Thorlabs. This prism is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where light inversion and minimal beam deviation are required.
The prism is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The N-BK7 Schott glass ensures high transmission and low dispersion, making it suitable for use across a broad spectrum of wavelengths. The specified wavelength for this prism is 632.8 nm.
The PS992M features a dove prism shape, which is characterized by its right-angle triangular cross-section. This shape allows for light inversion upon reflection, making it ideal for applications such as beam steering, image rotation, and optical path reversal.
The prism has a base shape of volume, with dimensions of 15 mm, 21.2 mm, and 63.4 mm for 'a', 'b', and 'l' respectively. This size makes it compatible with SM1-threaded mounts, providing a secure and stable housing for the prism.
Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components by reducing reflection and increasing transmission, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where specific reflection properties are desired.
