Description
Prisms are essential components in the world of optics, known for their ability to manipulate light in various ways. These transparent optical blocks are meticulously crafted with at least two flat, polished sides that are inclined at precisely controlled angles. This unique design allows prisms to deflect, deviate, and rotate beams of light, as well as disperse their wavelengths. Each type of prism is tailored to perform specific optical tasks, making them invaluable in a wide range of applications.
Tower Optical is renowned for its extensive range of high-quality prisms, including Penta Prisms, Right Angle Prisms, Dove Prisms, Roof Prisms, Corner Cube Reflectors, Anamorphic Prisms, and Wedge Prisms. Additionally, we offer specialized polarizers such as Glan-Taylor Prisms, Wollaston Prisms, and Rochon Prisms. Our commitment to precision and quality ensures that each prism meets the highest standards, providing exceptional performance in any optical setup.
For those seeking right angle prisms, Tower Optical provides three distinct quality standards: Standard Grade, High Grade, and Laser Grade. Each grade is crafted from BK7 grade A glass and offers varying levels of dimensional tolerance, flatness, surface quality, angle tolerance, and pyramid error. These prisms are also available in UV grade Fused Silica and can be customized with optical coatings for anti-reflective, mirror, or beamsplitter applications. At Tower Optical, we pride ourselves on our ability to create custom versions of all our products, tailored to meet your specific needs and specifications.
