Source: Edmund Optics Understanding Optical Prisms Exploring Optical Prisms What are Optical Prisms? An optical prism is a solid, transparent optic with flat surfaces that refract light. Light enters through one surface and may be rotated, deviated, or dispersed before leaving through another surface. The angles between the surfaces, the number of surfaces, and their

Corner Cube Prisms: A Guide Corner Cube Prisms: A Guide Understanding Corner Cube Prisms Corner cube prisms are optical devices that act as corner reflectors, falling under the category of retroreflectors. They work on the principle of multiple internal reflections on three perpendicular prism surfaces, ensuring that the reflected beam is parallel
