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.

Right angle prisms
are generally used to bend image paths or redirect light at 90°. This
produces a left handed image and depending on the orientation of the
prism, the image may be inverted or reverted.

There are four main types of prisms based on the function: dispersion
prism, deflection or reflection prism, rotating prism and offset prism.
Deflection, offset and rotating prisms are commonly used in imaging
applications; diffusion prisms are designed for dispersive light sources
and are not suitable for any application that requires high quality
images.WISOPTIC offers a wide range of optical prisms with various designs, substrates, or coatings.

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.

A prism, in optics, is a piece of glass or other transparent object surrounded by two planes that intersect
but are not parallel to each other. The most important parameters of a
prism are the angle and material. Prisms are capable to redirect light at a designated angle or adjust the orientation of an image. Therefore prism is useful for in certain spectroscopes, instruments for analyzing light
and for determining the identity and structure of materials that emit or
absorb light. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) splits incident unpolarized light into two perpendicular linearly polarized light. Among them, p-polarized light passes through completely, while s-polarized light is reflected at 45 deg which makes the emitting direction of s-light vertical to p-light. Additionally, beamsplitters can be used in reverse to combine two
different beams into a single one. Beamsplitters are often classified
according to their construction:cube or plate.Cube PBS are fabricated using two typically right angle prisms.

Polarization optics is important for both intra and extra cavity use. By using high contrast thin film polarizers in their design, laser engineers can save weight and volume within the laser system without influencing the output. Compared with polarizing prisms, polarizers have larger incident angle and can be made with larger apertures. Compared with polarizers made from birefringent crystals, the advantage of thin film polarizers made from UVFS or N-BK7 is that they can be fabricated in very large sizes, therefore are
particularly well suited for high laser powers and UV wavelengths.

Thin Film Polarizers are made from composed materials which include a polarizing film, an inner protective film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and an outer protective film. Polarizer is used to change un-polarized beam into linear polarized beam.

Polymer-matrix Gain Medium for Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL)Polymer matrix can be used to make solid laser gain medium of dye lasers. Compared with the commonly used liquid-state dye laser unit, the solid-state material has many advantages, such as the convenience of handling, the various options of dimensions and shapes.
But the dye molecules in the polymer matrix might degradate in a limited time
by triplet excitation, or even destruct permanently. To avoid this shortage, WISOPTIC provides long quality guarantee period of every piece of Dye Laser Cell/Rod made in-house.

Polarizer is a kind of optical filter
where the light transmission depends strongly on the polarization
state.
Normally, light with linear polarization in a certain direction is
passed, and light polarized in an orthogonal direction is either
absorbed or propagated to a different direction.For other directions of linear polarization with an angle θ against the“passing”direction, the transmission exhibits a cos2 θ
dependence.
That can be understood by considering that linear polarization state as a
linear superposition of the "passing”and the“blocked”state.Most polarizers act

Optical filters are used to selectively transmit or reject a wavelength or range of wavelengths. Their applications include fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, clinical chemistry, machine vision inspection, etc. Optical filters are widely used in light system of life science, imaging, industrial, or defense industries. For example, Bandpass interference filters are designed to transmit a portion of the spectrum, while rejecting all other wavelengths. Notch filters reject a portion of the spectrum, while transmitting all other wavelengths.

Optical filter is usually a component with a wavelength-dependent transmittance or reflectance. It's used to selectively transmit or reject a wavelength or range of wavelengths. Filters with particularly weak wavelength dependence of the transmittance are called neutral density filters. The general applications of optical filters include fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, clinical chemistry, machine vision inspection, etc. Bandpass interference filters are designed to transmit a portion of the spectrum, while rejecting all other wavelengths.

High
temperature phase BBO (alpha-BBO, a-BBO) is a negative uniaxial crystal
with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm
to 3500 nm. The physical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties of
alpha-BBO crystal are similar to those of the low temperature phase beta-BBO crystal.
However, there is no second order nonlinear effect in alpha-BBO crystal
due to the centrosymmetry in its crystal structure and thus it has no
use for second order nonlinear optical processes.

BBO(Beta-Barium Borate, β-BaB2O4)based Pockels cells operate from approximately 0.2 - 1.65 µm and are not subject to tracking degradation. BBO exhibits low piezoelectric response, good thermal stability, and low absorption. Due to the low piezoelectric coupling coefficients of BBO, BBO Pockels cells function at repetition rates of hundreds of kilohertz.

Barium Borate exists in three major crystalline forms: alpha, beta, and
gamma. The low-temperature beta phase converts into the alpha phase upon
heating to 925 °C. β-BBO differs from α-BBO by the
positions of the barium ions within the crystal. Both phases are
birefringent, however α-BBO has centric symmetry and thus
does not has the same nonlinear properties as β-BBO.α-BBO is a negative uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm to 3500 nm.

Basically all Pockels cell drivers are made based on
solid-state electronic technology, using high voltage transistors such
as MOSFETs.
Multiple high voltage transistors may have to be stacked, taking care to
achieve an even distribution of voltage across those.
Instead of using some heavily isolated floating gate drive circuitry for
the different transistors, one may use certain advanced ideas such as
implementing so-called avalanche switch stacks involving avalanche
diodes and/or avalanche bipolar transistors.Device lifetimes can be very long, provided that properly engineered
