Optical Micro Prism is defined as a high dimension tolerance small prism, made of visible or infrared glass materials. Size for these optical devises can go from 0.1 mm to a 5.0 mm. Micro prism typical design is right angle prism, it is produced in coated and uncoated version. For the coated prism, most common coating is the enhance Aluminum because the high transmission and cost-high quality ratio in visible and Infrared band. For high transmission other coating such as protected gold and silver can be used as well, see below.
Micro prisms are used in several applications such as optical communication, Biomedical equipment, virtual reality and defense industry.
Tower has expanded its line of precision optics to include standard micro prisms, coated and uncoated, for use with laser sources and imaging applications. The micro prisms are right angle, 45°-90°-45° prisms, whose sizes range from 0.3 mm to 5.0 mm with a format of A=B=C, See table below.
Tower Optical has contributed to many brain research projects. One of the most popular application for these micro prisms. Our products have included in several publications in the brains study area.
If you are interest to receive more information of the thousand of micro prism we stock at Tower Optical, please feel free to contact us via email (sales@toweroptical.com) of you can call us to our phone number 561-740-2525.
