PrismsRight Angle and Knife Edge Prisms

We offer these prisms uncoated or with four different coating options, namely:

These are some of the most versatile prisms available. They can be used as internal or external reflectors or as retro-reflectors according to the orientation of the prism with respect to the incoming light. An uncoated prism will act as a mirror for light incident on one of the short sides (legs) since incident light Is totally internally reflected at the hypotenuse. (TIR occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle which for the glass-air interface occurs at 41.2 degrees). Even though uncoated prisms work well their useful full field of view is limited to 10 or 12 degrees in the visible. It is recommended that appropriate coatings be added to optimize the range of prism uses.

The Broadband Multilayer Anti-Reflection coating will withstand high power laser use, while the Protected Aluminum coating is evaporated aluminum overcoated with a layer of MgF2 to protect it from scratches and abrasions. See AR Coatings for the Broadband AR transmission curve and HR Coatings for the Protected Aluminum reflectivity curve.

While standard sizes are usually more cost effective when you need only a few components we will be pleased to quote on special and volume requirements. Just call for further information.


If you need one of our prisms as soon as possible - just ask for next-day delivery. We try very hard to keep standard prisms set aside for immediate shipment -- so you won't find yourself caught short trying to finish a project. We also have a wide range of special prism sizes and shapes available.
