Rhomboid Prism, Lateral Displacement Of Beam
Overview: Rhomboid prisms are commonly used to displace a laser beam without changing its direction. In imaging applications, rhomboid prisms will displace the optical axis without inverting the image. The lateral displacement is equal to the length of the prism (specified by dimension D).
Star Optic can offer high tolerance angles better than 5 arcseconds and total beam deviation that keep the output beam parallel to the input beam to within 30 arcseconds. Higher transmission rate can be achieved by anti-reflective coating on the input and output surfaces.
They are ideal for demanding displacement applications such as stereoscopic system and periscope system.
