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 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

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.

Introduction of Optical Prism

An optical prism is a transparent object which is formed by two intersecting but uneven dimensions. It is used to separate light or cause the beam to be dispersive, and the material is usually glass, crystal, etc. It is widely used in optical instruments.

 

Classification of Prisms Optical

According to the uses of optical prisms, it can be divided into:

1. Deviation optical prism: let light change direction through a prism, and generally a prism less inclined is called a wedge or thin prism, the achromatic Fresnel biprism can also be used for deflection(no dispersion).

 

2.Dispersive prism: the refractive prism of a large Angle, mainly used in spectral instruments, the main function is in refraction.

 

3.Reflecting prism occupies a significant position in the non-dispersive prism, it can change the direction of the light as well as the image shift. It is usually used to reduce the light consumption with full reflection.

 

4. Polarizing prism: to separate polarized light from non-polarized light, it is used to study some physical phenomena of polarization or to control the strong light.

 

5. In the microscope, a prism is also used to complement the light.

 

Uses of Optical Prism

Optical prisms play many different roles in optics, and the combination of prism can be used as a beam splitter, a deflector, etc. But in most applications, only the dispersive function of the prism is used, or to change the direction of the image and the direction of beam propagation. The function of dispersion makes the prism an excellent dispersive element, the role of the prism plays in the spectrometer, spectrograph and monochromator. In many optical instruments, the prism is often used to fold the optical path to make the system shrink, and these prisms are not dispersive, such as mirror prism, inverted prism, etc.

 

In modern life, optical prism is widely used in digital equipment, science and technology, medical devices and other fields.

 

Common digital devices: cameras, closed-circuit television, projectors, digital cameras, CCD lenses and various optical devices;

 

Science and technology: telescope, microscope, level instrument, fingerprint, gun aiming mirror, solar energy converter and various measuring instruments;

 

Medical device: cystoscope, gastroscope and various laser treatment equipment.

Parabolic Mirror

 Hyperion Optics is a parabolic mirror manufacturer and offer custom off axis parabolic mirrors for use from the UV(200 to 400nm) to the IR (1to 40µm) wavebands. Parabolic mirrors are typically designed as a segment of a larger parabola, manufactured from a metal substrate such as aluminum and coated in either enhanced aluminum, silver or gold as a standard. These mirrors focus light similar to a concave mirror with the significant exception being that the off axis parabola design redirects the incident light through 90%.

 

Custom mirrors may be manufactured in a range of substrates and alternative coatings as required by our customer's specifications including UV and IR coatings and materials and alternative reflection angles.

 

Every component is individually tested by our highly skilled technicians in our state of art metrology lab to ensure all parts meet our high-quality standards. For more information on our custom parabolic mirror capabilities, or to enquire after a custom quotation, please contact our technical sales team.

 

Parabolic reflectors can be parallel to the optical axis of parallel light completely converged to the focus; the spherical aberration is zero.

 

Parabolic mirrors are typically made as off-axis parabolic reflectors whose reflective surfaces are equivalent to a portion of the parent parabolic mirror. These sections retain the ability of the parent paraboloid to focus on a collimated parallel beam or collimated wide-point light source. Such an off-axis design separates the focus point from the beam path.

Elliptical Mirror

 Elliptical mirror is still a flat mirror, but the shape is cut into an oval, and the outer circle and the mirror into a 45 ° angle. When the elliptical mirror is mounted in the optical path by 45 [deg.], The optical aperture of the lens is just circular.

 

Elliptical mirrors are also divided into metal coated mirrors and dielectric coated mirrors. The wide-band dielectric film reflector has a high reflectivity, and the metal film reflector has a wide reflection band.

 

Ellipse mirrors are typically used at 45° where a circular cross section of a given size is asked for. Our stock range of elliptical mirrors are machined from standard sheets of enhanced aluminium giving 94% reflectivity for visible applications. Generally elliptical mirrors are used as secondary mirrors in Newton telescopes or mounting in a tube where maximum aperture is required such as in perescopes.

 

Our stock mirrors have a guarenteed flatness of 1λ over 25mm. Where greater precision is required we offer elliptical mirrors with flatness better than λ/10 as a custom option. We also stock a range of standard front surface mirrors sheets for use in UV/ NIR and IR applications these can be cut and edged into elliptical mirrors at short notice.

 

For more information on our stock elliptical flat mirrors, to place an order or to find out more about our custom capabilities please contact our technical sales team.
