The optical dove prism has two applications: the main application is used as a rotator. it can rotate an image but without deviating the beam. And when the prism is rotated about the input parallel ray throuht some angle, the image rotates through twice that angle.It is very important that the application must be used with parallel or collimated beam and the large square reflective surface should be kept very clean. Another application is used as a retroreflector. For this application it perform as a right-angle prism.
Creator Optics ( CNCO ) can custom optical prisms made of optical glass and crystal, such as BK7, fused silica, sapphire and so on.
