Dove prisms from MOK Optics are precision optical components designed for manipulating images through rotation, inversion, or retroreflection, based on the prism’s rotation angle and the entry surface of the light. These prisms can be conceptualized as right-angle prisms with the triangular apex removed, which results in reduced weight and minimized stray internal reflections.

Key Features:

Image Manipulation:

Rotation: By rotating the prism around its longitudinal axis, an image can be rotated without changing its orientation, making it ideal for applications requiring precise image alignment.
Inversion: Dove prisms can invert an image when the light enters and exits through opposite faces.
Retroreflection: Capable of reflecting light back to its source, useful in various optical systems.

Material and Design:

High-Quality Materials: Fabricated from premium optical glass such as N-BK7 or fused silica, ensuring excellent transmission and minimal light loss.
Lightweight Design: The removal of the triangular apex reduces the overall weight of the prism, making it suitable for systems where weight is a critical factor.
Reduced Stray Reflections: The unique design minimizes stray internal reflections, enhancing the clarity and quality of the transmitted image.
Applications:

Optical Systems: Used in telescopes, periscopes, and other imaging systems for precise image rotation and alignment.
Laser Technology: Essential in laser systems requiring accurate beam steering and alignment.
Photography: Utilized in photographic equipment to correct image orientation and alignment.
Scientific Instruments: Integral in various scientific devices for image manipulation and alignment tasks.
