CVI RAP-100-C Precision Optical Right Angle Prism

CVI RAP-100-C Precision Optical Right Angle Prism

🔍 Key Features

• Type: Right-angle optical prism — used to bend or redirect a light beam by 90° via total internal reflection.

• Material: N-BK7 optical glass — a high-quality borosilicate crown glass with excellent optical transmission across visible and near-IR wavelengths.

• Dimensions: Approximately 25.4 mm (1.0 in) on each leg (i.e., cube size ~25.4 × 25.4 × 25.4 mm).

• Coating: Typically uncoated (no anti-reflective coatings by default).

• Optical Use: Right-angle prisms like this are commonly used to fold beams, reflect images, or deviate light paths in optical systems, laser setups, imaging assemblies, and precision instrumentation.

📌 Material & Optical Behavior

• N-BK7 Glass: Offers good transparency from visible to near-IR wavelengths, low bubble/inclusion content, and reliable optical performance for imaging and laser applications.

• Uncoated Surfaces: While simple, uncoated surfaces can reflect more than anti-reflective coated ones; coatings are optional if higher transmission at specific wavelengths is needed.

🧠 Typical Applications

Right-angle prisms like the RAP-100-C are widely used in:

• Laser beam steering systems

• Optical instruments and interferometers

• Imaging systems requiring precise light folding

• Experimental and research optics setups
