14 July, 2017, Karlsruhe, Germany - Edmund Optics® (EO), the premier provider of optical components, introduces its new TECHSPEC® BBAR Coated Hypotenuse Right Angle Prisms. These broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) prisms feature a wide wavelength range from 350 - 2.200 nm and are ideal for applications that require a single axis retroreflector and optical systems with space limitations.

Angle tolerance of ±15 arcsec

TECHSPEC® BBAR Coated Hypotenuse Right Angle Prisms provide a tight angle tolerance of ±15 arcsec, reducing ray deviation and eliminating the need for recalibrations of other parts of the optical system. The prisms are manufactured using an N-BK7 substrate and feature a high precision 40-20 surface quality, λ/8 surface flatness, and +0/-0,1 mm dimensional tolerance.

Eight standard VIS 0 and NIR 1 coatings available

Coating options for the TECHSPEC® BBAR Coated Hypotenuse Right Angle Prisms include VIS and NIR coatings, which reduce surface reflections in their designated wavelength ranges for increased total transmission. Eight standard VIS 0 and NIR 1 coated prisms are available with hypotenuse lengths of 14,1 mm to 70,7 mm and legs from 10 mm to 50 mm. Custom sizes are also available. TECHSPEC® BBAR Coated Hypotenuse Right Angle Prisms are in-stock and available for immediate delivery.
