BK7 is a high-quality borosilicate glass produced in Germany. Also, it contains a small amount of lead and has excellent optical uniformity. The PCV type features one flat surface and one convex cylindrical surface, offering high imaging quality and low aberrations.

 What is an N-BK7 Right Angle Prism? 

An N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-precision optical component made from N-BK7 glass.

Right angle prisms are simply triangular blocks of glass with two 45° and one 90° angles.

The precision grade right angle prisms have high surface quality and tight tolerance angles.

 Coating of the prism 

The common right-angle prism is uncoated.

Also, it relies entirely on total internal reflection.

Another option is to apply a traditional mirror coating on the hypotenuse surface.

Therefore, prisms coated with standard reflective coatings (such as aluminum) will function within a wider range of incident angles.
