Reflecting Prism
A reflecting prism is a widely used optical device with many advantages, designed to reflect, deflect, or split a beam into different directions. Its advantages and products are introduced below. First, it has high reflectance. Most light passing through it is completely reflected, with only a small amount absorbed or scattered away. This provides excellent transmission efficiency in optical systems while maintaining light intensity and brightness. Second, its materials offer excellent optical properties. Common materials include glass, optical glass, and crystals, with high refractive indices, low scattering, and relatively low absorption, ensuring high-quality beams. Its structure is also compact and stable. Special angles and surface shapes reduce volume and weight. A robust structure resists external vibration and temperature changes during use, improving system reliability and stability. Finally, reflecting prisms separate and recombine light. Particular prism combinations analyze, separate, and recombine incident light by wavelength or angle, supporting widespread use in spectroscopes, interferometers, and spectrometers. The market offers many products, including right-angle reflecting prisms, triangular prisms, and angle prisms. Suitable materials and specifications can be selected for different applications. Glass reflecting prisms suit conventional optical systems, while crystal reflecting prisms suit high-end applications requiring better optical performance. Overall, reflecting prisms combine high reflectance, quality materials, compact structures, and optical separation and recombination. Diverse products are widely used in optical systems, research, and industry. These advantages make them essential to optical technology and create opportunities for innovation and development across industries.

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.
