Frequently Asked Questions

Dove Prisms are a truncated form of right angle prism that use total internal reflection to produce an inverted image which emerges without any beam deviation.

The main application for Dove Prisms is as image rotators. Rotating the prism about an optical axis results in the image rotating at double the angular velocity of the prism.

Dove Prisms are optimized for 400-700 nm.

It is very important that the incident beam is collimated for optimal performance of Dove Prisms.

The large reflecting face of Dove Prisms must be kept very clean for optimal performance.
