Broadband non-polarizing hybrid cube beamsplitters are ideal for use with multiple lasers or tunable lasers. Incoming beams are both transmitted and reflected 45%, with the s- and p-polarized components matched to within 10%. These cube beamsplitters...

These prisms are used to direct beams at 90 degrees by using a hypotenuse face in total internal reflection (TIR). Right angle prisms are often preferable to an inclined mirror in applications involving severe acoustic or inertial loads, because they...

Having selected an appropriate wedge, it is easy to create a precise beam deviation without affecting other beam parameters. If two wedges are used together with the sloping surfaces in close proximity, it is possible to produce a continuous variatio...

Littrow prisms usually are 30 - 60 - 90 deg prisms. Uncoated Littrow prism can disperse white light into its spectrum; coated Littrow prism diverts the beam at a 60 deg angle without inverting or reversing the image. Littrow prisms can also be used a...

A wedge prism is an optical element with plane-inclined surfaces; usually the faces are inclined toward one another at very small angles. It diverts light toward its thicker portion. By selecting the appropriate wedge it is easy to create a precise b...

Anamorphic prisms are used to change the dimension of a beam in one axis, the effect being analogous to that of a cylindrical lens. These two prisms can expand or contract the beam in one direction without any changes in the other direction. By adjus...

A dove prism is a type of reflective prism that is used to invert an image. Dove prisms are shaped from a truncated right-angle prism. A beam of light entering one of the sloped faces of the prism undergoes total internal reflection from the inside o...

Penta prism’s function is to deviate the direction of the light beam by 90 degrees. Penta prism will neither invert nor reverse the image. Penta prisms are extremely useful in alignment systems as they define a right angle very precisely and in...

Right-angle prisms - retroreflectors are often preferable to an inclined mirror in applications involving severe acoustic or inertial loads, because they are easier to mount, and deform much less than a mirror in response to external mechanical stres...

These prisms are used to direct beams at 90 degrees by using the hypotenuse face for total internal reflection ( TIR). Right angle prisms are often preferable to an inclined mirror in applications involving severe acoustic or inertial loads, because ...
