BK7 Dove Prisms - Albrighter Technology

• Image Reversal: With its unique design, the Dove prism effectively flips images by 180°, providing versatile solutions for optical systems requiring precise image rotation.


• Optical Axis Rotation: The prism's image rotation angle is twice the prism's angle, making it ideal for applications demanding controlled image manipulation.


• Internal Total Reflection: Leveraging the critical angle principle, the Dove prism ensures efficient light transmission and reflection, contributing to high optical performance.


• Dimensional Accuracy: Manufactured with precision, the prism adheres to strict dimensional tolerances (A, B, C), ensuring consistency and compatibility within optical setups.


• Optical Properties: Featuring excellent surface flatness (λ/4@633nm) and surface quality (60/40), the prism delivers clear and distortion-free images, crucial for optical clarity.


• Versatile Options: Available in various dimensions and configurations, including different sizes (A, B, C), angle tolerances, and bevel specifications, offering flexibility to suit diverse application requirements.


• Coating Options: The prism can be supplied uncoated or with custom coatings upon request, enabling tailored solutions for specific optical needs.
