OPTICAL MIRRORS VALUMAX® series SPHERICAL AND ASPHERICAL LENSES Right-Angle Prisms • BK 7 or UV fused silica • Excellent for beam bending and retroreflection applications • Available in different sizes from 3.2 mm to 50.8 mm BEAM EXPANDERS OPTICAL WINDOWS & CYLINDRICAL & DIFFRACTION GRATINGS ACHROMATIC LENSES • AR coatings improve transmission • Optional aluminized hypotenuse avilable for HT and VALUMAX® prisms These BK 7 and UV grade fused silica right-angle prisms are precision polished to tight tolerances for more demanding applications such as combination for image/beam displacement. For the Precision series, we offer two standard sizes (12.7 mm and 25.4 mm) with a selection of our standard broadband AR coatings, which reduce surface losses but do not affect total internal reflection or the acceptance angle. For the HT (high-tolerance) series we offer 10 different sizes from 3.2 mm to 50.0 mm, with optional aluminzed hypotenuse covered with inconel and black paint for mirror applications. VALUMAX® series optimized the fine balance between performance and cost, making these prisms ideal for OEM applications in the visible and near infrared region. Available in many sizes from 5.0 mm to 50.8 mm either uncoated or with an aluminized hypotenuse overcoated with black paint.

OPTICAL MIRRORS SPHERICAL AND ASPHERICAL LENSES ULTIMA® Gimbal Prism Mount Berechneter kubischer Term 120 Penta Prisms • Precise 90° beam deviation • Image neither inverted nor reversed • Insensitive to alignment Penta prisms deviate a line of sight or input beam by precisely 90° without inverting or reversing the image, making them valuable for applications requiring an exact 90° deviation without having to orient the prism precisely. We offer 12.7 and 25.4 mm sizes. CYLINDRICAL & OPTICAL WINDOWS & ACHROMATIC LENSES DIFFRACTION GRATINGS Surface Flatness l/4 at 632.8 nm over the clear...

SPHERICAL AND ASPHERICAL LENSES OPTICAL MIRRORS Solid Glass Retroreflectors • 180° reflection independent of angle of incidence • 2 arc sec accuracy Sometimes called corner cubes, retroreflectors reflect entering light back 180°, and parallel to the original beam, while both inverting and reversing the image—regardless of its orientation to the beam. This makes retroreflectors valuable for applications requiring an exact 180° reflection without having to precisely orient the prism. Available in 6.35, 12.7, and 25.4 mm sizes.

• Parallelism to 1 arc sec • UV, visible, VIS-IR or IR coatings • Wavefront distortion l/3 Our broadband hollow retroreflectors are constructed of three front-surface flat mirrors assembled into a corner cube. Using a novel patented fabrication technique, parallelism up to 1 arc sec and wavefront distortion l/3 is economically achieved. Coatings are available for UV, visible, and IR, with damage threshold typically 100 W/cm2 CW or 10 mJ/cm2 with 10 nsec pulses.
