Optical Glass Prisms

.What Is Optical Prism

Prisms are polyhedrons made of optical materials (such as Optical Glass, Sapphire, IR Material, etc.). It is widely used in optical instruments. Prisms can be divided into several types according to their properties and uses.

1. Dispersive Prisms- Break up light into its constituent spectral colors.

Representability of Dispersive Prism- Triangular prism, Abbe prism, Amici prism, Compound prism.

1. Reflective Prisms- Reflect light, invert, rotate, deviate, displace or flip the light beam.

Representability of Reflective Prism- Porro prism, Amici roof prism, Penta prism, Schmidt Pechan prism, Dove prism, Retroreflector prism

1. Beam-Splitting Prisms- Splitting a light beam into two or more beams

Representability of Beam-Splitting Prisms- Beam splitting cube, Dichroic prism

1. Polarizing Prisms- Split a light beam into components of varying polarization.

Representability of Polarizing Prisms- Nicol prism, Wollaston prism, Nomarski prism, Rochon prism, Sénarmont prism

1. Deflecting Prisms- Deflect a beam of light by fixed angle

Representability of Deflecting Prisms- Wedge prisms, Rhomboid prisms

.About Optical Materials

The material of optical prism is mainly classified according to the band of the working light source, usually there is a distinction between UV, visible and infrared, and here you can ask our sales in order to know whether we produce the prism of the material you need. We mainly supplying UV Fused Silica, BK7, CaF2,Ge,ZnSe, Also providing Coatings like, silver reflection, aluminum reflection, Anti-Reflection, Anti-Fingerprint ETC…
