T-PS854 - N-F2 Equilateral Dispersive Prism, 50 mm
T-PS854 - N-F2 Equilateral Dispersive Prism, 50 mm
N-F2 is a RoHS compliant material that has been engineered to have nearly identical optical properties as F2. Like F2, it is a flint glass that offers excellent performance in the visible and NIR spectral range. It offers a high refractive index and low Abbe number, making it excellent for use in an equilateral dispersive prism.
Polarization Effects
For P-polarized light (blue line) incident on a dispersing prism at the angle of least deviation, the graph to the right shows that only a small percentage of the P-polarized light is reflected at the surface. Thus, for this polarization, the transmission through a prism fabricated from N-F2 will be excellent even though there is no AR coating on the surface.
