As laser processing equipment and photonic systems continue advancing toward higher precision and greater integration, optical components must provide reliable beam control, stable optical performance, and simplified system alignment. Right angle prisms are among the most widely used optical elements for redirecting and managing laser beams, making them essential components in laser and optical control systems.

• 90° Beam Steering:Redirects laser beams through 90° when light enters perpendicular to a right-angle surface.
• 180° Retroreflection:Functions as a retroreflector when light enters through the hypotenuse, returning the beam along a reversed optical path.
• High Optical Accuracy:Available with angular tolerances down to ±1 arcmin, supporting precision optical alignment.
• Superior Optical Quality:Surface flatness up to λ/8 @ 632.8nm and surface quality up to 10-5 S/D for demanding laser applications.
• Multiple Material Options:Available in N-BK7, UV Fused Silica, and other optical glass materials.
• Wide Size Availability:Standard sizes from 1 mm to 50.8 mm, with custom dimensions available.
• Flexible Coating Choices:AR coatings, MgF? coatings, dielectric high-reflective coatings, and protected aluminum coatings available to suit different laser wavelengths and system requirements.
