Description
The Right Angle Prism is an essential component in various optical systems, known for its ability to deviate or deflect a beam of light at precise angles of 90° or 180°. This versatile optical element is commonly utilized in devices such as telescopes and periscopes, where precise light manipulation is crucial. Its design allows for efficient redirection of light paths, making it a fundamental tool in both simple and complex optical assemblies.
Constructed from high-quality materials, the Right Angle Prism is available in BK7 Grade A optical glass or UV fused silica, ensuring superior performance and durability. These materials are chosen for their excellent optical properties, providing clarity and precision in light transmission. The prism's construction adheres to strict dimension tolerances of +0, -0.2mm, ensuring consistent and reliable performance across various applications.
The optical surface of the Right Angle Prism is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, achieving a flatness of λ/4 at 632.8nm. This precision ensures minimal distortion and high-quality image output. The surface quality is maintained at a 60-40 scratch and dig level, guaranteeing a clear and unobstructed light path. Additionally, the prism features a clear aperture of over 80%, maximizing the effective area for light transmission. The beveled edges, ranging from 0.2mm to 0.5mm at a 45° angle, provide added protection and ease of handling, making this prism a reliable choice for optical engineers and designers.
