Equilateral Prism, Dispersing Prisms, Wavelength Seperation
Overview: Equilateral dispersing prisms have three equal length sides. They are used for wavelength separation applications such as refracting white light into a rainbow pattern effect.
Depending on the material used equilateral dispersion prisms can be used over a wide range of wavelengths. We offer UV Fused silica prisms for use in the ultra-violet wavelength, N-BK7 and other high index materials like SF11 are used for visible applications. Star Optic offers equilateral dispersing prims uncoated and AR coated. Antireflective coatings help to improve output of the light as they prevent light loss due to surface reflection.
The exit beam is in general at an angle to the input beam, this angle depending on the prism material, the wavelength and the incidence angle.
