Frequently Asked Questions

Equilateral Prisms are used for wavelength separation in broadband applications, laser optics, spectroscopy, and nonlinear optics.

Equilateral Prisms are made of BK7, SF10, or F2 glass.

The refractive index of BK7 glass is nd=1.517 nF- nC=0.0081, the refractive index of SF10 glass is nd=1.728 nF-nC=0.0256, and the refractive index of F2 glass is nd=1.620 nF-nC=0.0173.

The angular dispersion of BK7 glass is 0°42’37” and the angular dispersion of SF10 glass is 2°58’25”.
