Optical Surfaces Ltd. manufacture high quality prisms to customer supplied specifications in quantities ranging from prototypes, through batch runs to production quantities.
Optical Prism
Operating in a uniquely stable manufacturing environment - Optical Surfaces has experience of producing all types and configurations of prism (amici/roof, bi-Fresnal, corner cube retroreflectors, dove, equilateral, isoceles, penta, rhomboid and wedge) with market- leading tolerances. Available as single components (up to 450mm) or cemented units - Optical Surfaces routinely achieves angle accuracy of better than 2 arc seconds, surface accuracy of lambda/20 p-v, 10/5 surface quality and microroughness of less than 1.2nm rms.
A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract or re-direct light. At least two of the flat surfaces must have an angle between them. The exact angles between the surfaces depend on the application. Manufactured from a range of top quality optical glasses and available coated (AR, Reflective) or uncoated - Optical Surfaces prisms are the components of choice for applications including image rotation, inversion, re-direction and to disperse light into its consituent colours.
Drawing upon over 50 years experience - Optical Surfaces ISO 9001-2008 approved manufacturing facility provides full test data with every prism leading its facility.
