Optical Prisms
Prisms are blocks of optical material with flat polished sides arranged at precisely controlled angles to each other, which deflect, deviate and rotate beams of light as well as dispersing their wavelengths.
We can manufacture many types of prism, each having a particular geometry to achieve the reflections necessary to perform a specific imaging task. Reflecting prisms may invert, rotate, deviate or displace a beam. Dispersing prisms produce spectral separation for spectroscopic applications or for tuning a laser output.
We can manufacture prisms of various types of optical glasses and crystals. Hereunder you can see many types we currently produce, and manufacturing of optical prisms of
custom-built types is possible. Reflecting and anti-reflection
coatings on working surfaces can be put if necessary; more details please refer to our Coatings chapter.
Applications
Most of our prisms are widely used in laser and commercial
applications. The following is a sample of six applications of prisms
that illustrate the versatility of this optics:
- Prism Spectrometers
- Beam Turning
- Beam Steering
- Laser Tuning
- Evanescent Wave Coupling
- Prisms as Beam Expanders
Products
We can provide all kinds of high precision prisms,
including Penta Prism, Beamsplitter Penta Prism, Right Angle Prism, and
Corner Cube. Our micro Penta Prism and Right Angle Prism are widely used
in optical communication, such as optical switches.
