Buying Corner Cube Prisms

Top-level product category: optical components and devices

More general product categories: prisms

Corner cube prisms are a common type of retroreflector used in applications where precise back reflections are needed without tight alignment tolerances. They are employed in interferometers, laser tracking systems, and variable optical delay lines.

corner cube prisms

Shalom EO has developed a capable production workshop that could offer various kinds of custom and off-the-shelf corner cube prisms made of N-BK7, UV fused silica, and other custom materials with diverse coating options like silver/gold coatings, and coatings in the visible, UV, and NIR spectrum.

Shalom EO's main types of corner cube retroreflectors include:

  • Standard corner cube retroreflectors of routine choices.
  • Truncated corner cube reflectors of lightweight and compact dimensions.
  • Lateral transfer corner cube retroreflectors with one trihedral reflecting face at one terminal of the prism and two trihedral reflecting faces forming a roof edge at the other end are designed for applications requiring a lateral beam displacement.
  • Customized hollow corner retroreflectors that perform great in low-pressure conditions and mitigate the aberrations derived from glass dispersion and temperature fluctuations.

corner cube prisms

A corner cube prism, also known as a retroreflector, a CCR, or a trihedral prism, is an optical prism that sends an incoming beam of light directly towards its point of origin while translating it spatially.
