| Fused silica right-angle Prisms (Precision grade)
These Fused Silica Right Angle Prisms are typically used for turning a beam by 90º. Uncoated Right-angle Prisms give total internal reflection of up to 100%, up to a critical angle, corresponding to 2.5º externally for Fused Silica (@587nm) Right-angle Prisms can also be used as an internal or front surface mirror when the hypotenuse is mirror coated, however it is important that it is kept clean.
These Fused Silica Right-angle Prisms are available in precision grade. Fused silica is useful for wavelengths down to 170nm and for high temperatures. The Protected ranges have the hypotenuse aluminised and black painted for protection (R=85% typically). |
