The wedge prisms is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. Optical wedges angle are usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from the prism.
Optical Prisms can be used individually to deviate a laser beam a set angle, or two wedge prisms can be used together for beam steering applications. A single wedge prism's ability to deviate the angle of an incident beam is measured in Diopters with 1 diopter deviating the beam 1cm at a 1m working distance
With decades of experience CCRQ is the preferred choise for exceptional wedge windows, wedge angle tolerance and surface roughness wedge prisms are manufactured to meet your exacting specifications in a wide varity of custom shapes, sizes, materials with optional coating for ultraviolet(UV), visiable(VIS) and Infrared(IR) applica…
