Rocky Mountain Instrument/RMI Laser Datasheets for Optical Prisms
Optical prisms are blocks of optical material with flat, polished sides that are arranged at precisely controlled angles to one another. They are used in optical systems to deflect or redirect beams of light. They can invert or rotate images, disperse light into component wavelengths, and separate states of polarization.

|---|---|
| Corner Cube Retro-Reflectors operate on the principle of total internal reflection (TIR). A beam entering the effective aperture is reflected by the three roof surfaces and emerges from the entrance... | |
| Dove Prisms are used as image rotators in a variety of opto-mechanical systems. They are a truncated form of the right angle prism, and use total internal reflection (TIR) to... | |
| Penta Prisms deviate a beam by 90º without inverting or reversing the image. These prisms also have the property of constant deviation, which means that the 90º deviation angle applies... | |
| Porro Prisms operate on the principle of total internal reflection (TIR). A beam entering perpendicular to the entrance / exit surface is reflected by the two roof surfaces and emerges... | |
| Right Angle Prisms are well suited for beam deviation and retro-reflection. They are often preferable to plane mirrors, because they are easier to mount and align. High throughput is attained... |
