SO-P13 SERIES

UVFS Standard Right-Angle Prism

SO-P13 standard-precision right-angle prisms are made from UV fused silica for 90-degree beam folding and total-internal-reflection layouts in UV-visible optical systems. They provide a compact alternative to a mirror where a stable monolithic geometry is preferred.

Product Overview

Control beam deviation and image orientation with UVFS Standard Right-Angle Prism

Models are differentiated by equal side length, surface quality, angular tolerance and the coating state of the hypotenuse and leg faces. Use the clear beam footprint and required pointing accuracy to choose the prism size.

Use total internal reflection at the hypotenuse only when the external medium and incidence geometry support it; otherwise specify an appropriate reflective coating.

Engineering Guidance

Choose the prism around beam geometry and angular accuracy

Optical behavior

Models are differentiated by equal side length, surface quality, angular tolerance and the coating state of the hypotenuse and leg faces. Use the clear beam footprint and required pointing accuracy to choose the prism size.

Selection and handling

Use total internal reflection at the hypotenuse only when the external medium and incidence geometry support it; otherwise specify an appropriate reflective coating.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
