Where to Buy Prisms

We offer an extensive range of stock and custom-made prisms which are suitable for a wide array of projects and applications. Our prism offering includes the following varieties: Fresnel, deviating penta, dispersing, equilateral, Pellin–Broca, Littrow, inverting, Amici roof, Porro, Dove, reflecting rhomboid, wedge, corner cube, polygons as well as anamorphic pairs and light pipe homogenising rods.

Artifex Engineering offers a wide varierty of custom prisms, including all typical designs tailored to your requirements (right angle prism, dove prism, pentaprism, corner cube reflector, wedge prism). Prisms are used for reflection, deviation and image manipulation. Visit our product page for more information. We look forward to your inquiry.

IRD Glass manufactures custom optical prisms for nearly any application – from laser optics to imaging devices. We produce basic right-angle prisms, rhomboid prisms, wedge prisms, penta prisms, dove prisms, roof prisms and many other challenging variations and assemblies – even completely new optical prisms for new applications as our customers’ industries require them.

The EKSMA Optics optical prism product line includes wedge prisms, laser dispersing prisms, Pellin–Broca prisms, right angle prisms, corner cubes and non-polarizing cube beamsplitters.

G&H produce precision prisms for a wide variety of applications, from high energy laser cavities to broadband imaging systems. Prisms types include: Abbe, Amici, Dove, Leman, Penta, Periscope, Porro, Rhomboid, Schmidt, Wollaston, Zeiss, and others.

Prisms bend, fold, invert, reinvert, displace, and deviate light. They are critical components in the systems which utilize their bending or refracting properties.

In order to collapse or control the optical path, optical engineers may generate designs which require optical contacting of multiple prisms to create complex optical structures. Each angle and surface must be held in the tightest of tolerances to the whole piece.

Our precision prism production capabilities include precision angular tolerancing, accurate wavefront control, and polishing of a wide variety of materials.

Our prisms may be assembled into cubes or more complex opto-mechanical sub-systems including epoxy bonding, optical contacting, or air-spacing.

Perkins Precision Developments (PPD) manufactures custom, high-precision prisms and prism assemblies of all shapes and sizes and in a variety of materials including fused silica, fused quartz, N-BK7, YAG, ZnSe, SF11 and other high index glasses. Prisms are available uncoated or coated with our low-loss, high energy IBS thin film coatings for applications in the UV, visible and near-infrared (NIR). Typical coatings include anti-reflection (AR), high-reflector (HR), dichroic, beam splitter, and polarizing designs.

Common types of thin film coated prisms that we produce for both laser and imaging applications include right angle turning prisms, Risley prisms, equilateral dispersion prisms and penta prisms. Precision optical assemblies such as polarizing beam splitter cubes and dichroic prism beam splitters are also an option.

Our technical sales team will work with you at the design and quotation phases to ensure the optimal balance of performance, manufacturability and cost.

We offer custom dispersive, reflective and birefringent prisms in a variety of classical geometries including Porro, Penta, Wollaston, Rochon, Nomarski, Glan–Thompson and Glan–Taylor. In addition to monolithic prisms and contacted or cemented prism assemblies, Inrad Optics has experience in building high precision Risley prism steering assemblies.

Ecoptik produces optical prisms for various applications. We can make many different geometrical shapes, e.g. roof prisms, tetrahedral, wedge, octagon, penta, Powell and right angle prisms. We are happy to develop custom versions for you.

Shalom EO offers optical prisms of multiple types which are ideal for applications of ray deviation and adjusting orientation of an image, including: right angle prisms, corner cube retroreflectors, wedge prisms, Brewster angle prisms and equilateral prisms, in addition to penta prisms, Dove prisms, roof prisms and Porro prisms. There is a large choice of materials: BK7, N-BK7, UV-grade fused silica, N-SF11, CaF₂, Ge and ZnSe.

Anti-reflection coating options are single layer MgF₂ coatings, broadband AR coatings and laser line V-type coatings. Reflective aluminium coatings are also available.

Shanghai Optics can provide custom high-precision prisms with arbitrary angles, sizes below 300 mm and angular accuracy of 1 arcsec. Customized coatings are available for different UV, visible and infrared wavelengths according to customer requirements.
