Tower Optical: Precision Custom Prisms for Your Optical Applications

By Yoany Rodriguez PhD

Prisms are essential optical components that deflect, deviate, and rotate light beams while dispersing different wavelengths. At Tower Optical, we specialize in manufacturing a wide range of custom prisms to meet the specific requirements of various optical applications.

Our prism capabilities encompass a diverse range of designs, including penta prisms, right-angle prisms, Dove prisms, roof prisms, Amici prisms, corner cube reflectors, anamorphic prisms, wedge prisms, and polarizing prisms such as Glan-Taylor prisms, Wollaston prisms, and Rochon prisms. We have developed specialized tooling to ensure precise control over the angles and planarity of the prism surfaces.

With over 10 different prism designs available in both coated and uncoated versions, Tower Optical is renowned for maintaining a comprehensive stock of prisms. We offer various coating options to suit your needs, including anti-reflective (AR) coatings, protected gold, protected silver, and the commonly used protected aluminum coatings.
