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).
