Right-Angle Prism
A right-angle prism is an optical element widely used in optical experiments and measurement. It has two mutually perpendicular faces, one reflective and one incident, meeting at a perfect 90-degree angle, hence its name. It is generally made of high-quality optical glass or quartz for excellent optical performance and durability. Precision fabrication and coating of the reflective face efficiently reflect light and reduce energy loss. Main applications include optical experiments, research, measurement, and alignment. In experiments, it supports spectroscopes, interferometers, and diffraction experiments, reflecting or refracting light at specific angles to help researchers observe and analyze light. In research, it is used in the design and manufacture of laser systems, optical devices, and instruments. It also supports measurement and alignment, including beam positioning and beam-quality evaluation. Compactness is an advantage. Its unique design reflects and refracts light within a small space. High reflection efficiency and transmittance also ensure high-quality input and output in optical systems. Overall, right-angle prisms are important in optical experiments and measurements. Excellent performance and compact design make them essential tools for research and engineering. Technological progress will give them a greater role in further applications.

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.
