N-BK7 Wedge Prism is a precision optical component designed to slightly deviate a beam of light without altering its other properties.
Made from high-quality N-BK7 optical glass, these prisms feature excellent transmission in the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges.
Wedge prisms can be used individually to deviate a laser beam a set angle, or two wedge prisms can be used together for beam steering applications.
What is a wedge prism used to?
People often use it to slightly deflect or deviate a light beam without significantly changing its other properties.
Because the two surfaces are not parallel, the prism introduces a small angular deviation, which makes it useful in many optical systems.
Main Uses of a Wedge Prism:
- Beam Steering & Alignment
- Eliminating Interference
- Optical Testing & Calibration
- Spectroscopy & Imaging
- Laser Systems
Optical Properties：
- Deviation Angle: Controlled by the wedge angle, ideal for fine beam alignment.
- Transmission Range: High optical clarity in the visible and NIR regions.
- Low Birefringence: Also, it ensures stability in polarization-sensitive applications.
- Durability: Resistant to scratching and environmental conditions compared to softer materials.
