Turning Prisms
Choose a prism by the change needed in the optical path: beam redirection, displacement, image orientation, spectral dispersion or return-beam geometry. This category separates the available prism forms before you compare materials, sizes and precision grades.
Right-Angle Prisms
Dove Prisms
Roof Prisms
Corner Cube Retroreflectors
Penta Prisms
Dispersive Prisms
Wedge Prisms
Brewster Isosceles Prisms
Pellin–Broca Prisms — PPB Series
Porro Prisms — POP Series
Rhomboid Prisms — RBP Series
Choosing Turning Prisms
- Start with a ray-path sketch showing entrance, exit and any required image orientation.
- Compare the relevant geometry, such as right-angle, penta, roof, Dove, wedge or corner cube, against that layout.
- Check material, angular tolerances, clear aperture and face coatings in the selected series; prism shape alone does not establish application suitability.
