A prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow). Prisms can also be used to reflect light, or to split light into components with different polarizations.
Right Angle Prisms can bend light at either 90-Deg or 180-Deg and can be used for retro-reflectors, telescopes, and mirror substitutes etc. The right angle surfaces may come with anti reflection coating at different wavelength.
Available versions: Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG, Gd3Ga5O12), Standard, Aluminum-Coated, Gold-Coated, TiO2(Rutile), Sapphire

Right Angle Prisms can bend light at either 90-Deg or 180-Deg and can be used for retro-reflectors, telescopes, and mirror substitutes etc. The right angle surfaces may come with anti reflection coating at different wavelength.
GOLD-COATED RIGHT ANGLE PRISMS / MIRRORS
The hypotenus surface of the right angle prisms are gold coated, the thickness of gold layer is 40-50nm.
Both bare gold and protected gold versions are available.
ALUMINIUM-COATED RIGHT ANGLE PRISMS
Aluminium right-angle prisms are fundamental components in various photonics applications due to their ability to precisely control light direction and image orientation. The hypotenus surfaces are aluminum coated with protective SiO coating, and/or a protective black paint coating per request. The aluminium coating provides high reflectivity (often >88% for visible light) over a broad range of wavelengths. Uses: Beam Steering and Redirection, Image Manipulation and Relay, Laser Applications etc.
Sapphire prisms are highly valued components in the field of photonics due to the exceptional properties of synthetic sapphire (Aluminum Oxide, Al₂O₃). Ideal for a wide range of demanding optical applications due to Exceptional Hardness and Durability, Broad Optical Transmission Range, High Thermal Stability, High Refractive Index, Low Birefringence (for C-plane cut sapphire)
TiO2(RUTILE) COUPLING PRISMS (Right-Angled)
PHOTONIK SINGAPORE offers optical elements made of high quality synthetically grown Rutile Titanium Dioxide crystals. Rutile’s strong birefringency, wide transmission range and good mechanical properties make it suitable for fabrication of polarizing cubes, prisms and optical isolators. Boules having high optical transmission and homogeneity are grown by proprietary method.
Gadolinium Gallium Garnet RIGHT ANGLE PRISMS
RAP-GG SERIES
Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG, Gd3Ga5O12) is a synthetic crystalline material of the garnet group, with good mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. It is typically colorless. It has a cubic lattice, a density of 7.08 g/cm3 and its Mohs hardness is variously noted as 6.5 and 7.5. Its crystals are produced with the Czochralski method.
During production, various dopants can be added for colour modification. The material is also used in fabrication of various optical components and as a substrate material for magneto¨Coptical films (magnetic bubble memory). GGG can also be used as a seed substrate for the growth of other garnets such as yttrium iron garnet
