Right Angle Prisms
Detailed Product Description
Prisms maybe used in an optical system so that the exit beam maybe reflected from the entrance direction.The emages produced by prisms can be made inverted or rotated.
Right-Angle Prisms
A Right-Angle Prism is usually used as a mirror to deviate light through 90 degree, and also as a retroreflector to deflect light 180 degree by total internal reflection.
· 90-degree Deflection
· 90-degree Deflection occursat the hypotenuse face. The image is erectde and reversed
· 180-degree Deflection
· 180-degree Deflection uses with hypotenuse as the entrance and exit face. The main application of it is used as a retroreflector provided that the Plane of incident beam includes the vertex.
