A Rhomboid prism is a type of reflective prism which is commonly used to displace a laser beam without changing it’s direction. Effectively a Rhomboid prism acts as a pair of single mirrors and have a shape where it’s lateral displacement is equal to the length of the prism. In imaging applications a Rhomboid prism will be used to displace the optical axis without inverting the image.
Generally our Rhomboid prisms are uncoated and rely on total internal reflection however if you require a greater angular range our coating engineers will work with you to create a coating design that will meet your application’s requirements.
