Edmund Optics Introduces IR Right Angle Prisms
|
Edmund Optics (EO), provider of optical components, introduces their IR Right Angle Prisms. As their name infers, Right Angle Prisms are used to achieve a 90º (Right Angle) light path bend.
Three substrate options for a wide range of applications
Edmund Optics’ IR Right Angle Prisms are available in three substrate
options to cover a wide range of applications. Calcium Fluoride, a material
with a low index of refraction of 1.434, provides excellent transmission properties
from 190 nm to 7 µm. This substrate is ideally suited for applications
throughout the UV, Visible and Infrared Spectra. Germanium is a dense material
with a high index – excellent for applications in the 3-12 µm
region where the optical path length needs to be maximized. Zinc Selenide,
commonly used in a variety of CO2 laser applications, features high transmission
from 1-16 µm.
Uncoated prisms ideal for use with well-collimated light sources
These uncoated prisms utilize total internal reflection for the right angle
path bend and are perfect for use with well-collimated light sources. EO’s
IR Right Angle Prisms with a Calcium Fluoride substrate are available uncoated
in 12.7 mm, 25.4 mm and 38.1 mm sizes. IR Right Angle Prisms with a Germanium
substrate or a Zinc Selenide substrate are available uncoated in 12.7 mm and
25.4 mm sizes.
All Edmund Optics uncoated IR Right Angle Prisms are in-stock and available for immediate delivery. Custom Anti-Reflective and Metallic coating options are available to meet customers’ specific requirements.
