A wedge prism is a transparent optical device shaped like a thin wedge, where its two flat surfaces are not parallel but angled relative to each other. It is commonly used in various applications for beam deviation, refraction, or altering the direction of light without dispersion.
Wedge prisms can be used to individually deflect laser beams to a certain angle, or to combine two wedge prisms as beam deflection applications.Our company can produce various specifications of wedge shaped prisms, wedge angle prisms
Angle of Deviation: Changes the direction of a light beam based on the wedge angle.
Material: Made from optical glass, quartz materials with specific refractive indices.
Compact Design: Thin and lightweight, suitable for integration into optical systems.
Non-Dispersive: Unlike other prisms, it does not split light into its constituent colors.
Precision Fabrication: Designed with high accuracy for minimal angular deviation errors.
Beam Steering: Adjusts the path of a laser or light beam in optical systems.
Surveying Instruments: Used in forestry and land surveying to measure angles and distances.
Alignment and Calibration: Ensures precision in optical instruments by fine-tuning light paths.
Optical Experiments: Aids in deflecting or refracting light beams in research and development setups.
Laser Systems: Redirects laser beams in medical, industrial, and scientific applications.
