Request InfoEdmund Optics Inc.BARRINGTON, N.J., April 5, 2011 — Edmund Optics has introduced its TechSpec laser-line right-angle prisms. The versatile optics feature <0.25% reflection at the design wavelength and are suitable for industrial and low-power laser applications, including beam steering and laser alignment. They are designed with tight angle tolerances and are manufactured from precision N-BK7 for ease of use in a wide variety of visible and near-infrared applications. The prisms are most commonly used to bend image paths or to redirect light at a 90º angle. This will produce a left-handed image, which may be inverted or reverted,...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra November 2022 IssueLaser Line MirrorsTECHSPEC® Dual Band Laser Line Mirrors from Edmund Optics Inc. offer 99% reflectivity at both IR and visible wavelengths.
