Prisms

Prisms are used to steer and/or direct light, with the cut, form, and material determining how they do so. We offer a variety of prism types for bending light, reorienting images, separating wavelengths, and magnifying beams. All are offered in a range of precision-polished materials with antireflection coating options suitable for high power use in laser, scientific, and industrial applications. In addition to custom materials and dimensions, our full line of dielectric and metal coatings are available to create the ideal prism for your system. Prisms are used in industrial applications like laser tracking & alignment, range finding, and atmospheric monitoring. Their broad bandwidth of operation and ability to function at high power make them a common component in laser systems, either for intracavity use in dispersion compensation or as beam separators. Our prisms achieve high laser damage threshold through precise polishing to high surface figure and quality, aided by optional low-loss antireflection coatings.
