Optical Prisms

Controlled light paths for optical systems.

Explore prism types or discuss custom geometries, materials, and coatings for your application.

Optical prisms for your application

Optical prisms are used to redirect, reflect, rotate, or separate light within an optical system. By utilizing precisely polished surfaces and carefully designed geometries, prisms can control beam direction, image orientation, and optical path length for applications including laser systems, imaging equipment, optical instruments, and measurement systems.

Strahl Optics supports a wide range of prism designs, including right angle prisms, Dove prisms, penta prisms, roof prisms, and corner cube prisms. Careful optical inspection helps verify angular accuracy, surface quality, and dimensional consistency across different prism geometries, supporting reliable beam control and system integration.
