What Is an
Optical Prism?
Optical prisms are solid optical components designed to refract, reflect, disperse, or redirect light through controlled geometrical surfaces. By precisely shaping and polishing multiple optical faces, prisms perform functions such as beam deviation, image rotation, beam splitting, and wavelength dispersion.
Optical prisms are widely used in imaging systems, optical instruments, and laser applications where
angular accuracy and surface quality are critical.
Prism Types We Manufacture
We offer a broad range of standard and custom prism designs, including:
Right-angle prisms
Dove prisms
Porro prisms
Penta prisms
Beam-splitting prisms
Custom geometry prisms
Each prism type can be optimized based on optical path design and system requirements.
Material Options
Our optical prisms are manufactured from optical-grade materials selected for performance and durability:
Optical Glass (BK7, BAK, High-Index Glass)
Fused Silica / Quartz (UV and thermal stability)
IR Materials (CaF₂, MgF₂, Germanium, Silicon)
Sapphire (high strength and harsh environments)
Precision Manufacturing & Optical Accuracy
Prisms require tight angular and surface tolerances. Our manufacturing process ensures:
High angular accuracy and alignment control
Excellent surface flatness and surface quality
Low optical loss and high transmission
Stable optical performance across temperature ranges
Optional optical coatings are available to enhance transmission, reflection, or beam-splitting performance.
