Introduction of Optical Prism

An optical prism is a transparent object which is formed by two intersecting but uneven dimensions. It is used to separate light or cause the beam to be dispersive, and the material is usually glass, crystal, etc. It is widely used in optical instruments.

Classification of Prisms Optical

According to the uses of optical prisms, it can be divided into:

1. Deviation optical prism: let light change direction through a prism, and generally a prism less inclined is called a wedge or thin prism, the achromatic Fresnel biprism can also be used for deflection(no dispersion).

2.Dispersive prism: the refractive prism of a large Angle, mainly used in spectral instruments, the main function is in refraction.

3.Reflecting prism occupies a significant position in the non-dispersive prism, it can change the direction of the light as well as the image shift. It is usually used to reduce the light consumption with full reflection.

4. Polarizing prism: to separate polarized light from non-polarized light, it is used to study some physical phenomena of polarization or to control the strong light.

5. In the microscope, a prism is also used to complement the light.

Uses of Optical Prism

Optical prisms play many different roles in optics, and the combination of prism can be used as a beam splitter, a deflector, etc. But in most applications, only the dispersive function of the prism is used, or to change the direction of the image and the direction of beam propagation. The function of dispersion makes the prism an excellent dispersive element, the role of the prism plays in the spectrometer, spectrograph and monochromator. In many optical instruments, the prism is often used to fold the optical path to make the system shrink, and these prisms are not dispersive, such as mirror prism, inverted prism, etc.

In modern life, optical prism is widely used in digital equipment, science and technology, medical devices and other fields.

Common digital devices: cameras, closed-circuit television, projectors, digital cameras, CCD lenses and various optical devices;

Science and technology: telescope, microscope, level instrument, fingerprint, gun aiming mirror, solar energy converter and various measuring instruments;

Medical device: cystoscope, gastroscope and various laser treatment equipment.
