An Optical Glass Prism is a solid, transparent optical element that can change the path of light. An optical prism has at least two polishing planes inclined with respect to each other. Light enters through one surface and may rotate, deviate, or scatter before exiting through another surface. Optical Prisms can be used to reflect light, bend light in a system, change the direction of an image, or split light into component wavelengths or polarizations. Common materials for making prisms include glass, plastic, and fluorite. Compared with typical mirrors, triangular Optical Prisms have significant advantages because they have greater resistance to mechanical loads and external stress. This makes them more suitable for applications that operate under harsh conditions, such as vibration or rapid motion. Triangular Optical Glass Prisms also provide huge improvements in ease of installation and alignment, thereby reducing application complexity, cost and time to market.
