A Penta Prism is a five-sided reflective prism used to scatter a light beam by 90 °. The beam reflects twice inside the prism, allowing an image to be transmitted through a right angle without inverting it (i.e., without altering the handiness of the image) as an ordinary right-angle prism would. For optimum performance in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, or infrared (IR) spectrums, z-optics provides a selection of Penta Prisms. In addition, we provide half Penta prism. Without flipping or reversing the image, it is used to shift the line of sight by 45°. It is frequently used in telescopes and also has uses in geodesy, microscope tubes, projection and image systems, and Penta prism, half-Penta prism, and precision prism are all products that we manufacture in China. Please get in touch with us directly for pricing information or details on prisms that might work for your application.

A plano-convex lens is a convergent lens having one convex and one flat surface. These lenses are intended for use in infinite conjugate (parallel light) applications or for basic imaging in non-critical applications. Plano-convex lenses are designed for infinite conjugate use or easy imaging in non-critical applications. They are positive focal length elements with a flat and spherical surface. A lens can be convex, concave, or flat depending on its surface.

Powell Lenses narrow are specially engineered optical components that excel in transforming laser beams into a uniform, straight-line intensity distribution. These lenses are meticulously crafted to overcome the limitations of traditional beam-shaping technologies, offering a breakthrough in laser beam homogenization. They deliver an exceptionally uniform beam profile, eliminating hotspots and irregularities for enhanced laser performance and efficiency. With a focus on efficiency, Powell Lenses minimize energy loss, maximizing output power for cost-effective solutions.

Reflective Achromatic Fiber Collimators uses a 90⁰ off-axis ellipsoidal mirror to couple free space laser beam into fiber or vice versa. Focal length of reflective mirror is irrelevant with wavelength. That makes it an idea solution to achromatic aberration. Al, Ag and Au is optional to be deposited as reflective film.
- Aluminum averages greater than 90% reflectance from 200nm to the far infrared, except in the 750 – 900nm region where it averages around 85% reflectance.
- Silver coatings can offer better performance in the visible and NIR from 450nm to 2μm.
- For IR performance gold coatings offer high reflectivity of around 97% from 700nm up to 10μm.

The Rhomboid Prism is a parallelogram with uneven length neighbouring sides and non-right angled angles. Rhomboid prisms are frequently used to dispense a laser beam while maintaining its direction. Rhomboid prisms will shift the optical axis in imaging applications without inverting the picture. They have high tolerance angles, which ensure that the output beam is parallel to the input beam within 30 arcseconds. Features - 1. Lateral Beam Displacement. 2. Parallel Input and Output Beams to 30 Arcseconds. 3. Repositions the optical axis without inverting the image. 4. Exceptionally well-suited for severe displacement applications.

A roof prism is a transparent optical marvel that comprises a segment where two faces meet at an angle of 90°, resembling the roof of a house and inspiring the name of this exceptional feature. This unique design allows the reflection of the two 90° faces to return an image that is laterally flipped around the axis where the faces meet, ensuring top-notch image inversion and precise orientation adjustments.

The mechanical properties of Sapphire include its great strength, thermal stability, wear resistance, and chemical inertness. As a result, a Sapphire Window outperforms other optical materials in severe conditions, acting as a shield between the elements. In optical and mechanical applications, sapphire windows are often used. Features
- Chemical resistance due to its high surface hardness.
- Transmits light at wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared.
- Thinner and stronger than standard glass windows.
- Available with anti-reflection coatings ranging from 400 to 5000nm
