Prisms are optical components that achieve precise light deflection at specific angles. Based on the geometric structure and optical properties of transparent media (e.g., optical glass, crystals), they make incident light refract or reflect inside the prism and exit at a preset angle—enabling precise optical path control. They are fundamental components for light control and optical path design in optical systems.
Three Core Functions
Precise Angular Deflection: Deflect incident light by specific angles (e.g., common angles like 90°, 180°) as designed. Widely used in laser optical path steering and optical instrument layout optimization.
Light Shift Control: Achieve parallel light shift without changing the direction of light propagation, avoiding optical path interference with other components. Suitable for compact design of precision optical imaging systems.
Image Orientation Adjustment: Flip or rotate optical images (e.g., upright/inverted image conversion) via special prism structures (e.g., Dove prisms), ensuring imaging system output meets the observation needs of human eyes or detectors.
Applications
Laser Field: Optical path calibration in laser research experiments; optical systems for laser cutting/welding equipment; optical path steering modules for LiDAR.
Imaging & Vision Field: Optical path adjustment for optical imaging devices (e.g., cameras, microscopes); optical path optimization for machine vision inspection systems (e.g., industrial quality inspection, autonomous driving visual perception).
Life Sciences & Biomedical Field: Bio-imaging systems in life science research (e.g., fluorescence microscopes); precision light control components for biomedical equipment (e.g., endoscope optical systems, pathological testing instruments).
