A corner cube (or cube corner), also known as a retroreflector, is an optical
component with the unique ability to return an incoming beam of light
directly towards its point of origin regardless of the beam's angle of
entry. This property makes this prism type ideal for a wide variety of
applications, such as laser resonator cavities, land surveying, ground
based range-finding, satellite communications and space vehicle docking.Wisoptic offer a wide variety of retroreflectors at competitive prices and lead times, and are able to accommodate the most demanding requirements.

Corner cube prisms are optics which act as corner reflectors.
The basic operation principle is that there are internal reflections on
three mutually orthogonal prism surfaces, producing a direction of a
reflected beam which is nominally parallel to the direction of the
incident beam – with the accuracy limited only by the accuracy of the
surface orientation of the prism.
Precision prisms can offer excellent parallelism of incoming and
reflecting beams.
It is usually specified as an angular deviation, e.g.

Optical beamsplitters play a vital role in many laser-based
measurement and positioning systems. Although the operation of a typical
beamsplitter is conceptually simple, its performance characteristics
can dramatically affect the accuracy and repeatability of the overall
system. Consequently, understanding the variables that distinguish
beamsplitter performance is an important step in comparing and
specifying components.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) are
designed to split light by polarization state rather than
by wavelength or intensity. PBS are often used in
semiconductor or photonics instrumentation to transmit p-polarized light
while reflecting s-polarized light. Optical isolators use PBS to eliminate feedback-induced damage. PBS are typically designed for 0° or 45° angle of incidence
with a 90° separation of the beams, depending on the configuration.WISOPTIC offers a wide variety of PBS in a
range of configurations including plate, cube, or lateral displacement.

RTP possesses a large electro-optic impact for light propagating along either the x or y direction (electric powered along z). It functions right optical transparency from around 400nm to over 4µm. RTP offers a high resistance to optical damage with energy ~1Gw/cm2 for 1ns pulses at 1064nm. It is largely total lack of piezo-electric resonances at 200kHz and probable beyond. The primary distinction between RTP and BBO whilst used for Q-switching pertains to the common power degree at which the Q-switch is capable of be used practically.

A wave plate, also called a phase retarder, is an optical device that changes the polarization state of light by generating an optical path difference (or phase difference) between two mutually orthogonal polarization components. When the incident light passes through wave plates with different types of parameter, the exit light is different, which may be linearly polarized light, elliptically polarized light, circularly polarized light, etc.

Optical Prisms are widely used to redirect light at a designated angle. They are ideal for ray deviation, or for adjusting the orientation of an image. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it. When light enters an optical prism, it either reflects off an individual surface or several surfaces before exiting, or is refracted as it travels through the substrate. WISOPTIC offers a wide range of optical prisms with various designs, substrates, or coatings.
