Pellin-Broca Dispersing Prism

SO-P06 Pellin-Broca prisms provide wavelength dispersion with a constant 90-degree beam deviation at the design condition. They are used for harmonic separation, wavelength selection, spectroscopy and laser-line isolation.

Product Overview

Control beam deviation and image orientation with Pellin-Broca Dispersing Prism

Models differ in scale and optical orientation. Select the prism using material, design wavelength range, A and B side lengths, height and the specified prism angle, then provide rotational adjustment for wavelength tuning.

Dispersion and exact deviation depend on refractive index versus wavelength; use material dispersion data for quantitative system design.

Engineering Guidance

Choose the Pellin-Broca prism by tuning range and mounting precision

Pellin-Broca vs. equilateral dispersing prisms

Pick Pellin-Broca over an equilateral dispersing prism whenever the output beam direction must stay fixed as wavelength changes — a fixed exit slit, a fixed cavity axis, or a detector that can't be re-aligned every time the wavelength changes. If the downstream optics can rotate together with the prism, an equilateral prism is usually the lower-cost option for the same dispersion task.

Sizing, mounting and material

Match the A and B side lengths and height to the beam diameter and clear-aperture margin, then confirm the prism-angle tolerance against how much deviation drift the application can tolerate. Because wavelength tuning is done by rotating the prism about its vertex axis, the mount's angular resolution — not just the prism's own angle tolerance — sets the practical wavelength-selection precision. K9 covers the visible range at lower cost; UV fused silica is needed once the design wavelength moves into the UV.
