90 Degree Large Right Angle Fused Silica Bending Prism Optic

90 Degree Large Right Angle Fused Silica Bending Prism Optic

An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. At least one surface must be angled—elements with two parallel surfaces are not prisms. The traditional geometrical shape of an optical prism is that of a triangular prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides, and in colloquial use "prism" usually refers to this type. Some types of optical prism are not in fact in the shape of geometric prisms. Prisms can be made from any material that is transparent to the wavelengths for which they are designed. Typical materials include glass, plastic, and fluorite.

Prisms may be used in an optical system so that the exit beam may be reflected from the entrance direction.The images produced by prisms can be made inverted or rotated.

90 Degree right angle bending prisms utilize the inherent total internal reflection (TIR) at the hypotenuse to invert the image and achieve a 90° change in direction. Antireflection coatings are applied to the two legs of a standard right angle prism (RAP) to maximize the overall throughput and reduce back-reflections off the interfaces to near zero. Because the internal reflection is independent of wavelength, these prisms can also be used as high energy 90° reflectors for broadband applications where metal mirrors are too absorbing and dielectric mirrors do not reflect a wide enough bandwidth. The Applications include UV beam routing, beam pick off, and variable delay lines as well as broadband, high energy 90° reflectors. High energy AR and BBAR coatings are applied to Legs. Fused silica optics company also offer other dimensions and wavelengths in prototype and production quantities.
