SO-P18 SERIES
SO-P18 high-precision UV fused silica wedge prisms provide controlled small-angle beam deviation for UV-visible steering, beam sampling, ghost-reflection separation and alignment correction. Rotating one wedge, or a matched pair, enables fine angular adjustment.

Engineering Guidance
Choose the prism around beam geometry and angular accuracy
Optical behavior
The model table lists wedge angle, diameter, thin-edge thickness, beam deviation at 355 nm, optical power and angular tolerance. Use the specified reference wavelength because deviation changes with refractive index dispersion.
Selection and handling
For a Risley-prism pair, match wedge specifications and include independent rotational control to obtain predictable two-axis steering.
Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
