Right-angle prisms
As a meam turner (90 degrees deflection)
As a retro-reflector (180 degrees deflection)
Glass Perfection provide large amounts of right-angle
prisms, they are generally used to have two functions:

90 degree deflection occurs at the hypotenuse face.
Image viewed through a single right angle prism will
be erect but reversed left to right.
The retro-reflection is insensitive to rotate an axis
parallel to the roof.

Material:
BKY grade A optical glass
High purity uv grade fused silica
Coating:
Glass Perfection provides varieties of single
layer or multi layer anti reflecting coating on optical
windows.
High Precision Perpendicularity
Right-angle Prisms
Glass Perfection also provide BKY or fused silica
right-angle prism with excellent perpendicularity of
ground surface and polished surfaces. Such prisms are
useful for high precision optics application, which
requires a good ground reference flat.

Penta Prisms
Penta prisms are a five-sided prism containing two
reflecting surfaces at 45 degrees to each other and
two reflecting faces perpendicular to the entering and
emerging beam.
Penta prisms have two important properties:
- the image is neither inverted nor reversed while
deviated by 90 degrees
- it is a constant deflection device, all transmitted
rays are deviated by the smae exact 90 degree.

Beamsplitters Penta Prisms
By adding a wedge and with partial reflective coating
on surfaces S1, penta prisms can be used as beamsplitter,
transmission/reflection ratio of 20/80, 50/50 or others
for beamsplitter penta prism is available upon request.
