Request a quote Cemented Prism Assemblies
Precision optical prisms manufactured to customer specifications.
Product Overview
Cemented prism assemblies consist of two or more optical prisms bonded together at selected mating faces with optical adhesive.
The combined prism geometry and any interface coatings control how light is redirected or distributed through the assembly.
Prism materials, component geometry, interface coatings, adhesive requirements, relative alignment and external surface quality can be specified to match your drawings.
Applications
- Imaging & Viewing Instruments: A cemented prism assembly combines successive reflections to route an image through a compact viewing or camera module.
- Industrial Inspection Equipment: A cemented prism assembly redirects illumination or observation paths to fit the required inspection geometry.
- Spectroscopy & Analytical Instruments: A cemented prism assembly routes light between illumination, sample and detection sections within a specified instrument layout.
- Laser & Optical Measurement Systems: A cemented prism assembly combines multiple beam-routing surfaces into one component for the prescribed measurement path.
