There are 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.
UPT provides many 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. Other kinds of prisms, such as Dove Prism and Roof Prism are also available upon request.
By adding a wedge and with partial reflective coating on first reflective surface, Penta Prism can be used as Beamsplitter.We supply Beamsplitter Penta Prism with standard Transmission/reflection (T/R..
With a anamorphic prism, the beam size can be changed along the axis while leaving the beam unchanged along the other axis, so the beam can be expanded, reduced or reshaped. Anamorphic prisms are use..
The Dove Prism is also called Image Rotator. The prism rotates the image without changing the direction of the input beam, which is parallel to hypotenuse. Rotation of the prisms in relation to the su..
Rhomboid prisms (off-set prism) are commonly used to displace a laser beam without changing its direction. In imaging applications, rhomboid prisms will displace the optical axis without inverting the..
The reflection prisms are usually used for diverging the ray or for changing image location in relation to the subject (rotation, inversion). All the surfaces of the reflection prisms are flat. Reflec..
Besides the Reflection Prisms, UPT also offers the Dispersion Prisms. The most typical dispersion prism is equilateral prism made of high difference of refaction indexes for different wavelengths. The..
