Custom Mini 2mm 3mm 4mm 5mm Optical Right Angle Prism
A right-angle prism is a common and highly versatile optical component, typically made of glass or acrylic. As the name implies, it is a triangle-shaped prism with a 90-degree angle between its two shorter legs. Its simple geometry allows it to perform four fundamental optical functions: bending light, rotating images, dispersing light, and combining/separating light.
Specification:
420nm to 680nm AR Coating
Key Characteristics and Geometry
· Shape: It is a right triangle in cross-section, with three rectangular faces. The two smaller faces adjacent to the 90-degree angle are called the legs or catheti, and the longest face opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
· Standard Angles: The standard angles are 90°, 45°, and 45°.
· Material: Usually made from optical glasses like BK7, fused silica, or other materials depending on the required wavelength range (e.g., UV or IR grades).
