Corner Cube Retroreflectors

Corner cube is total reflecting prism formed by 3 perpendicular surfaces, where the incident light angle does not influence the final emerging light angle but reflected by 180°, it offers excellent parallelism between the incident and exit beams.

Hyperion Optics supplies both corner cube in mount or without mount, our precision corner cube retroreflectors have been used for Laser ranging, positioning and guidance, laser communication, optical transformation.

Our typical production accuracy is beam deviation <5 arc sec in diameter within 2 inches. Please see our precision and tolerance grid for your information.

Dove Prism

Dove prisms are used as reflective prism inverting the image. Dove prism is shaped from a truncated right-angle prism. Normally, dove prisms are used in the parallel optical path based on critical angle principle to meet total internal reflection with limited FOV.

A beam of light entering one of the sloped faces of the prism undergoes total internal reflection from the inside of the longest (bottom) face and emerges from the opposite sloped face. Images passing through the prism are flipped, and because only one reflection takes place, the image is inverted but not laterally transposed.

A beam of light entering the sloped faces undergoes total internal reflection from the bottom surface, and emerges from the opposite sloped face. Also interestingly whtn dove prisms optical are rotated along longitudinal axis, the image rotates at twice the rate of the prism which have applications in fields such as interferometry, astronomy, and pattern recognition. Dove prisms can be also used as right angle prisms with sloped faces HR coated.

Hyperion Optics supplies standard and custom made dove prisms according to your requirement; please refer to following spec grid for further capability study. Talk to our technicians today to find out the best tolerance fit that works with your application.

Penta Prism

Penta Prisms are used to define right angles in optical systems. Penta Prisms, which provide right handed images, feature a ray deviation of 90°. Penta Prisms are five-sided prisms and unaffected by slight movements. Edmund Optics offers a variety of Penta Prisms for optimal performance in the Ultraviolet (UV), Visible, or Infrared (IR) spectrums.

The penta prism will neither invert nor reverse the image. Penta prisms are extremely useful in alignment systems as they define a right angle very precisely and independently of angle of incidence. Rays entering one face emerge from the adjacent face at precisely 90 deg after they have undergone two reflections inside the prism for a total of 270 deg. The penta pellin broca prism acts as a turning mirror which is insensitive to alignment.

Penta prism is often used in Plumb Level, Surveying, Alignment, Range finding and Optical Tooling

Right Angle Prism

Right angle prisms turn light through 90° by internal reflection from the hypotenuse, or 180° from two right angle surfaces. When the light incident angle is perpendicular to the right angle surfaces, the light will be reflected at the surface of glass/air interface.

When the input light is incident from hypotenuse surface, the light will be fully reflected in the glass / air interface at the right angle surfaces. The second total reflection occurs at next right angle surface.

Compared to regular reflective mirrors, right angle prisms are easily to be mounted; further its reliable mechanical stress has better stability and strength. Hence right angle prisms have been considered as suitable alternatives to reflective mirrors in various applications.

Hyperion Optics supplies a range of right angle prisms to meet UV-Visible-NIR applications, with high surface quality and tight tolerance angles. Our materials selection ranges from BK7, Bak4, fused silica, ZnSe, CaF2 etc.

Roof Prism Amici Prism

A roof prism is a reflective optical prism containing a section where two faces meet at a 90° angle. Reflection from the two 90° faces returns an image that is flipped laterally across the axis where the faces meet.

The roof prism is characterized by that the beam is split in half; half of the beam hit the first face, and then the other side, while the other half of the beam is inverted. Thus, a roof prism can be used with distance to the focal plane, or slight distortions will be introduced. In addition, the included angle between the two surfaces must be very close to 90, or the image quality will be regarded.

Roof prisms are suitable elements for telescope or any other applications that involve image splitting, or bending beam by 90°for maintaining the expected imaging direction.Commonly the processing technology of the right angled roof prism is mature, it is easy to achieve high accuracy, and the accuracy of 1 ~ 2 inch in diameter prism can be controlled within 2 seconds.
