Customized Diameter 1-100mm Glass N-BK7 Plane Wedge Prism for Precision Optical Elements X-P25P3CW1101
The K9 Optical Wedge Prism is a precision optical component designed to slightly deflect or steer a light beam at a controlled angle. Made from high-quality K9 optical glass, this prism provides excellent transmission, surface accuracy, and durability. With a **6mm diameter, 15° wedge angle, and AR coating on both sides, it is ideal for laser alignment, beam deviation, and imaging applications. Material: K9 Optical Glass Diameter: 6 mm Angle: 15° for both sides What is a Wedge Prism?A wedge prism is an optical prism with a slight angular difference between its two flat surfaces. It is commonly used to deviate or deflect a laser beam at a small, precise angle. K9 optical glass wedge prisms provide high transparency, low bubble content, and stable performance across the visible spectrum. FAQ / People Also Ask Q1: What is the purpose of a wedge prism?A wedge prism is used to slightly deviate a light beam without dispersing it. It is ideal for aligning laser paths or adjusting optical axes in imaging systems. Q2: What materials are commonly used for wedge prisms?K9 glass and fused silica are the most common materials. K9 offers good visible transmission and cost-effectiveness, while fused silica provides higher UV transmission and lower thermal expansion. Q3: Can wedge prisms be customized?Yes, VY Optics offers customized wedge angles, dimensions, coatings, and mounting solutions according to customer requirements. Q4: What is the difference between a wedge prism and a right-angle prism?A wedge prism has a small angle deviation for beam steering, while a right-angle prism changes the direction of light by 90°. They serve different optical alignment purposes. How to Choose the Right Wedge PrismChoosing the right wedge prism depends on wavelength range, material, coating, and wedge angle. A proper combination ensures stable and accurate beam deviation performance. Wavelength Range: Match the prism material to your system’s wavelength (e.g., K9 for visible, fused silica for UV). Wedge Angle: Determines the degree of beam deviation; precision is crucial for laser alignment. Surface Quality & Flatness: Better quality reduces beam distortion. Coating Selection: AR coatings enhance transmission and minimize reflections. Environmental Conditions: Consider operating temperature and humidity. Customization: VY Optics provides OEM options to match any optical setup.

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.
