SO-P08 SERIES

K9 Rhomboid Prism

SO-P08 K9 rhomboid prisms laterally displace a beam while keeping the emerging ray parallel to the input. They are useful in optical-path offsetting, binocular and periscope assemblies, beam-height adjustment and compact instrument packaging.

Product Overview

Control beam deviation and image orientation with K9 Rhomboid Prism

The required lateral offset depends on the prism geometry, so select the model by its A, B and C dimensions as well as angular accuracy. The output remains parallel only when the internal reflecting faces and mounting orientation are correct.

Model the optical path through the full prism before fixing the housing because lateral displacement and mechanical envelope change together.

Optical behavior

The required lateral offset depends on the prism geometry, so select the model by its A, B and C dimensions as well as angular accuracy. The output remains parallel only when the internal reflecting faces and mounting orientation are correct.

Selection and handling

Model the optical path through the full prism before fixing the housing because lateral displacement and mechanical envelope change together.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

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