ISP Optics Infrared (IR) Right Angle Prisms

ISP Optics Infrared (IR) Right Angle Prisms provide 90° or 180° redirection of laser beam or image paths depending on the input prism surface. Available with calcium fluoride (CaF₂), germanium (Ge), or zinc selenide (ZnSe) substrates, these right-angle prisms are ideal for a range of IR laser and imaging applications. CaF₂ offer a low refractive index and broad transmission range from 0.2 – 7µm, making it useful for applications requiring high transmission from the UV through the IR. Ge is transmissive from 2 – 14µm with a high index of 4.002 at 11µm and is used in applications where the optical path length needs to be maximized. ZnSe has high, even transmission from 0.6 – 18µm and is typically integrated with CO₂ laser systems that feature a 632.8nm HeNe alignment laser and 10.6µm output beam. ISP Optics Infrared (IR) Right Angle Prisms can be used in combination for beam/image displacement.

Note: Special care should be taken when handling Zinc Selenide as it is a toxic material. Always wear rubber or plastic gloves to avoid risk of contamination.
