Optical Prisms are widely used to redirect light at a designated angle. They are ideal for ray deviation, or for adjusting the orientation of an image. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it. When light enters an optical prism, it either reflects off an individual surface or several surfaces before exiting, or is refracted as it travels through the substrate. WISOPTIC offers a wide range of optical prisms with various designs, substrates, or coatings.

Right angle prisms
are generally used to bend image paths or redirect light at 90°. This
produces a left handed image and depending on the orientation of the
prism, the image may be inverted or reverted.

There are four main types of prisms based on the function: dispersion
prism, deflection or reflection prism, rotating prism and offset prism.
Deflection, offset and rotating prisms are commonly used in imaging
applications; diffusion prisms are designed for dispersive light sources
and are not suitable for any application that requires high quality
images.WISOPTIC offers a wide range of optical prisms with various designs, substrates, or coatings.

Corner cube prisms are optics which act as corner reflectors.
The basic operation principle is that there are internal reflections on
three mutually orthogonal prism surfaces, producing a direction of a
reflected beam which is nominally parallel to the direction of the
incident beam – with the accuracy limited only by the accuracy of the
surface orientation of the prism.
Precision prisms can offer excellent parallelism of incoming and
reflecting beams.
It is usually specified as an angular deviation, e.g.

A prism, in optics, is a piece of glass or other transparent object surrounded by two planes that intersect
but are not parallel to each other. The most important parameters of a
prism are the angle and material. Prisms are capable to redirect light at a designated angle or adjust the orientation of an image. Therefore prism is useful for in certain spectroscopes, instruments for analyzing light
and for determining the identity and structure of materials that emit or
absorb light. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) splits incident unpolarized light into two perpendicular linearly polarized light. Among them, p-polarized light passes through completely, while s-polarized light is reflected at 45 deg which makes the emitting direction of s-light vertical to p-light. Additionally, beamsplitters can be used in reverse to combine two
different beams into a single one. Beamsplitters are often classified
according to their construction:cube or plate.Cube PBS are fabricated using two typically right angle prisms.

Polarization optics is important for both intra and extra cavity use. By using high contrast thin film polarizers in their design, laser engineers can save weight and volume within the laser system without influencing the output. Compared with polarizing prisms, polarizers have larger incident angle and can be made with larger apertures. Compared with polarizers made from birefringent crystals, the advantage of thin film polarizers made from UVFS or N-BK7 is that they can be fabricated in very large sizes, therefore are
particularly well suited for high laser powers and UV wavelengths.

A corner cube (or cube corner), also known as a retroreflector, is an optical
component with the unique ability to return an incoming beam of light
directly towards its point of origin regardless of the beam's angle of
entry. This property makes this prism type ideal for a wide variety of
applications, such as laser resonator cavities, land surveying, ground
based range-finding, satellite communications and space vehicle docking.Wisoptic offer a wide variety of retroreflectors at competitive prices and lead times, and are able to accommodate the most demanding requirements.

Yb:YAG's advantage is a wide pump band and an excellent emission
cross section. It is ideal for diode pumping. The broad absorption band
enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency across the
typical thermal shift of diode output. High efficiency means a
relatively small dimension Yb:YAG laser crystal will produce high power
output. Based on the YAG host crystal, Yb:YAG can be quickly integrated

The Ceramic Laser Reflectors are high reflectance cavities used in solid state and CO2 laser systems. They are built either as a one-piece or two-piece system based on customer requirement.Ceramic cavities produce diffuse reflectance, which offers a very uniform beam profile. This diffuse reflectance also distributes light and consequently decreases hot spots in the pumped medium. These completely dense materials (e.g. Al2O3) exhibit higher strength and scratch resistance than traditional polymeric and thermoplastic materials.

Ceramic Laser Reflector (Ceramic Laser Cavity) works particularly well in Ruby,
Nd:YAG, or Alexendrite laser pumping chambers and can be a highly cost effective
alternative to metal coated reflectors. Compared to metal reflectors, ceramic units offer higher reflectivity
and therefore enhanced laser power. Surfaces can be sealed and coated
with a solarization-resistant glaze to give high bulk reflectivity.

Optical beamsplitters play a vital role in many laser-based
measurement and positioning systems. Although the operation of a typical
beamsplitter is conceptually simple, its performance characteristics
can dramatically affect the accuracy and repeatability of the overall
system. Consequently, understanding the variables that distinguish
beamsplitter performance is an important step in comparing and
specifying components.

Waveplates (retardation plates or phase shifters) are made from
optical materials with precise thickness such as quartz, calcite or mica, which exhibit birefringence. The velocities of the
extraordinary and ordinary rays through the birefringent materials vary
inversely with their refractive indices. The difference in velocities
gives rise to a phase difference when the two beams recombine.
