Right-Angle Prism RAP0501
A right-angle prism is a triangular-prism-shaped object made from a transparent material, usually glass, with a cross-section that is usually an equilateral triangle. Light is refracted when entering the prism. Triangular prisms are often used in binoculars to shorten the viewing tube. In optics, a transparent body with a triangular cross-section is called a triangular prism. When a prism made from an optically denser medium is placed in an optically rarer medium, usually air, light entering a side face is refracted toward the base. Light enters one side face and exits another, with the emerging ray deflected toward the base, the third side face. The deviation angle depends on the refractive index, apex angle, and angle of incidence. White light is composed of different monochromatic components. A given medium has different refractive indices for different colors, which also propagate through it at different speeds. Consequently, the monochromatic components undergo different deviations in a triangular prism, separating white light into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet: dispersion.

PBS beamsplitter prism Prisms 100optics
Material [Shared by the standard/high-precision columns; Original cell colspan2]: N-BK7.Fused Silica,N-SF11,or depend on request Clear Aperture [Standard specification]: ≥85 % Dimension Tolerance [Standard specification]: ±0.1 mm
A polarizing beamsplitter separates incident unpolarized light into two orthogonal linearly polarized beams. P-polarized light is fully transmitted, while S-polarized light is reflected at 45 degrees and exits at 90 degrees to the P beam. Made from a pair of cemented high-precision right-angle prisms, with a polarizing beamsplitter dielectric coating on the hypotenuse of one prism.

Triangular Prism Prisms 100optics
Material: K9 or ZF glass, etc. Dimensional Tolerance [Two original parallel options without grade distinctions]: ±0.2，±0.1 Surface Quality: 60 / 40
Prisms turn and displace light at specified angles and can adjust image orientation. Their shape and function depend on their interaction with light. Incident light may reflect from one or more surfaces before exiting, or refract while passing through the substrate. Baijing offers forms including triangular prisms, pentaprisms, Dove prisms, Powell prisms, roof prisms, and corner cubes.

Electro-optic deflectors (EODs) are optical devices used to steer or deflect light beams by applying an electric field to a specialized optical crystal. Unlike mechanical beam steering systems that rely on moving mirrors, electro-optic deflectors enable high-speed, non-mechanical beam control with exceptional precision and responsiveness. They are widely used in laser scanning, optical communications, microscopy, laser printing, spectroscopy, and scientific research, where rapid and accurate laser beam positioning is essential.
