Introduction to Optical Wedge Prisms

Notch Optics offers custom optical wedge prisms designed to reflect or refract light at precise angles. These prisms come in various deviations, wedge angles, shapes, sizes, and materials, with options for coated or uncoated surfaces.

Optical wedge prisms typically feature round shapes, with each surface meticulously polished flat and tilted to meet at a specific angle. They can be used individually or paired together. Achieving precise beam deviation involves aligning two wedge prisms in series and adjusting their rotation relative to each other.

From custom prototypes to large-scale production, we provide tailored solutions to meet your needs. Contact us to discuss your specific optical coating requirements!
