The PS992M-B is a Dove Prism, a type of prism named after its inventor, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. It is made of N-BK7, a high-quality glass manufactured by Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties. This prism is AR coated, ensuring minimal reflection and maximum transmission of light.
The prism has a base shape of a volume prism, with dimensions of 15mm x 21.2mm x 63.4mm. The 15mm dimension refers to the prism's a-axis, while the 21.2mm dimension corresponds to the b-axis. The 63.4mm length is the prism's l-axis.
The PS992M-B is SM1-mounted, meaning it is compatible with Thorlabs' SM1 series of lens tubes and other components. This prism is designed for use with wavelengths between 650nm and 1050nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The front and back of the prism are coated with the same coating (tho ps992-b), ensuring consistent performance across the entire prism. This prism's shape, combined with its high-quality materials and coatings, makes it a reliable and versatile component for various optical systems.
