SO-P11 SERIES
SO-P11 K9 Dove prisms invert an image and rotate it by twice the prism's mechanical rotation angle. They are used in image-rotation stages, interferometry, beam-folding systems and optical experiments requiring controlled image orientation.
Product Overview
Engineering Guidance
Select the A, B, C and H dimensions according to beam size and available path length. The long prism geometry requires careful support to avoid stress and vignetting along the internally reflected beam path.
Dove prisms work best with a collimated beam; converging or highly divergent beams can introduce additional aberration and image degradation.
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
