Product catalog summary
Overview: This document from EKSMA Optics provides detailed specifications and applications for various optical components, including wedge prisms, right angle prisms, Pellin-Broca prisms, corner cubes, and beamsplitters. It includes information on materials, dimensions, tolerances, and pricing.
Wedge Prisms: Wedge prisms are used to steer beams in optical systems and can be paired for continuous angular adjustment. They are made from materials like BK7 and UV grade fused silica, with surface quality of 40-20 scratch & dig and flatness of λ/4 @ 633nm. Specifications include diameter tolerance of +0.00 -0.12 mm and wedge tolerance of ±3 arcmin.
Precision Wedge Prisms: These prisms have a higher surface quality of 20-10 scratch & dig and flatness of λ/10 @ 633nm. They are used for precise beam deviation without affecting other parameters.
Right Angle Prisms: These 45–45–90 degree prisms are used as reflectors or retro-reflectors, directing beams at 90 degrees using total internal reflection. They are preferred over mirrors in applications with severe loads due to easier mounting and less deformation.
Pellin-Broca Prisms: These prisms separate light by wavelength with minimal deviation and are used for applications requiring a 90° angle deviation. They are made from BK7 and UV FS materials with high surface quality and flatness.
Corner Cubes: These prisms reflect incident light back to its original direction, independent of the angle of incidence. They are used in high precision applications and are available in BK7 and UV FS materials.
Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters: These beamsplitters are optimized to be insensitive to polarization at designed wavelengths, maintaining a consistent reflection-to-transmission ratio for both s- and p-polarization components.
Fixed Ratio Cube Beamsplitters: Similar to non-polarizing beamsplitters, these are optimized for specific polarization or unpolarized light, with a reflectance/transmittance ratio of 50/50%.
Additional Information: The document includes various catalogue numbers, dimensions, and prices for each component. Custom fabrication options are available, and most products are available for fast off-the-shelf delivery. For more details, visit the EKSMA Optics website.

Windows & Filters Prisms Wedge Prisms T ● Steer beams in optical systems ● Can be used in pairs for continuous angular adjustment Beam deviation Wedge angle Specifications Material Contact us for other types of prisms e.g. trapezoidal, various isosceles, Dove, Amici, Penta, etc. Clear aperture Diameter tolerance Wedge tolerance Having selected an appropriate wedge, it is easy to create a precise beam deviation without affecting other beam parameters. If two wedges are used together with the sloping surfaces in close proximity, it is possible to produce a continuous variation of beam deviation by counter – rotating the wedges. Wedge prisms are made from alternative materials, such as UV grade fused silica, and different shapes and sizes or with various anti-reflection coatings.

● Extremely small loss of a p-polarized beam ● Light separated by wavelength is conveniently turned at an 90° angle with minimum deviation ● UV FS prisms provide 1.26° separation between 532 nm and 1064 nm Pellin-Broca Prisms In a Pellin-Broca prism, an ordinary dispersing prism is split in half along the bisector of the apex angle. Using a right angle prism, the two halves are joined to create a dispersing prism with an internal right angle bend obtained by total internal reflection. The entrance beam is deviated at an 90° angle to its initial direction. Surface quality Surface flatness Design...

Optical Components Corner Cubes Coatings ● Incident light deviates by 180 degrees independently of the angle of incidence These prisms have 3 mirror surfaces making angles of 90° to each other, juxtaposed to form the corner of a cube with the entrance face perpendicular to the cube diagonal. Respective of an incident direction, all beams are reflected back to the original direction. Solid corner cubes are used in high precision applications or with lasers over very long distances. These ”angle insensitive” mirrors therefore find frequent applications in situations where orientation is difficult...
