Prisms

About the Prism

In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. At least two surfaces form an angle. The typical geometric form is a triangular prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides. In common usage, the term "prism" generally refers to this form. Some optical prisms do not follow the geometry of classic prisms. Prisms can be produced from any material suitable for the designed wavelengths.

A dispersive prism separates light into its individual spectral colours. Prisms may also be used to reflect light or to divide a light beam into components with defined polarisation.

Our Prism Offerings:

Right-Angled Prisms: These prisms redirect light by a 90-degree angle. They are employed in imaging systems, alignment equipment and laser devices.

Equilateral Prisms: These prisms separate incident light into its spectral components. They are used in spectroscopy, educational demonstrations and artistic installations.

Dove Prisms: Dove prisms invert images by 180°. They are applied in beam control, alignment procedures and laser interferometry.

Penta Prisms: Penta prisms maintain parallelism between incident and emergent beams. This attribute is required for the precise alignment of optical systems.

Advantages of our Prisms:

Optical Precision: Our prisms are designed for high optical accuracy. They exhibit minimal dispersion, accurate beam manipulation and consistent performance.

Versatility: Prisms are used in various industries. Their applications include scientific research, telecommunications, astronomy and educational demonstrations.
