Description
Dispersing Prisms are optical components used for wavelength separation applications. These prisms separate light by wavelength through double refraction. When a light ray passes through the prism, it is twice refracted, and the deviation is dependent on the refractive index, which is wavelength dependent.
The prisms are available in various materials, and dielectric coatings can be applied upon request to enhance their performance for specific applications.
