Prisms

COE offers many kinds of high precision prisms, i.,e, right angle

prisms, corner cubes, penta prisms, dove prisms, roof prisms,

rhomboid prisms or other irregular shape, which are made from

optical glass, BK7, fused silica, sapphire etc.

Many types of prisms 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

tuning a laser output.

Right Angle Prisms

Right-angle prism is the most common type of prisms. It is used to re-direct a

beam of light at 90 degrees from the incident direction or used as a 180 beam

retro-reflector. They are often coated with various optical coatings to form cubic

beam splitters and color separation cubes used in various projection systems.
