Buying Prisms
Optical prisms serve various functions, including retroreflecting beams without changing their angular direction, image rotation, and dispersing light into its spectral components. They are used in many optical applications.

An optical prism is a solid, transparent optic with flat surfaces which refract light. Light enters through one surface, and may be rotated, deviated, or dispersed before leaving through another surface. These surfaces are highly polished, and the angles between them, the number of surfaces, and the position of them determine the function of the prism. |
