The PS993M N-BK7 SM2-Mounted 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 triangular base and two equal right-angled prism faces. This unique shape allows for total internal reflection, making it ideal for applications such as beam folding, image rotation, and light path reversal. The prism's dimensions are 30 mm in base width (a), 42.4 mm in height (b), and 126.3 mm in length (l), providing a substantial optical path for efficient light manipulation.
The PS993M is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surfaces. While coatings can enhance certain optical properties, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as broadband operation, lower cost, and simplicity. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may have higher reflectivity at the air-glass interface, which could affect transmission efficiency.
This prism is SM2-mounted, indicating it is compatible with Thorlabs' SM2 (2.035"-40) series of lens tubes and kinematic mounts. This feature provides flexibility in integrating the prism into various optical systems.
