A corner cube prism, also known as a retroreflector, is a unique optical device designed to reflect light or other electromagnetic waves back to their source, regardless of the angle of incidence. Its name derives from its geometry, which consists of three mutually perpendicular surfaces forming the corner of a cube.
Corner Cube Prism is always used to reflect the beam entering the prism face, regardless of its orientation to the beam. Corner cubes are widely used where precision alignment is difficult.
Customization: We offer flexible custom prisms to meet your specific optical requirements, including size, coating and accuracy specifications.
Beam Deviation: Standard corner cubes have minimal beam deviation, providing precise light reflection.
Coatings: If desired, a protected metallic coating can be applied to reduce phase-shifting wavefront aberrations.
Truncated reflectors: Where space and weight are constraints, truncated reflectors can be produced. These prisms maintain the same precise beam deflection and transmitted wavefront as non-truncated prisms.
Lateral transfer angle prisms: In situations where significant lateral beam displacement is required, a transverse transfer angle prism can be used. These prisms have a three-sided reflective surface at one end and two three-sided reflective surfaces that form a roof at the other end.
