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.

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

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.

An aspherical lens features a non-spherical but rotationally symmetric shape with a curvature radius that changes at various points between the center and the edge. Although producing this type of lens is difficult, when manufactured properly, it offers greater functionality than a comparable spherical lens.Spherical Lenses vs. Aspherical LensesSpherical lenses have a spherical surface and the same radius of curvature across the entire lens. In contrast, aspherical lenses have a more complicated surface with a gradually changing curvature from center to edge.

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.

Phase retardation plates, or waveplates, are polarizing optics used to manipulate the polarization state of the transmitting light without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the light. The working principle of the plate is to utilize the birefringence of certain materials which separates the incident light beam into two beams along two orthogonal optical axes within the medium. The phase retardation between the two beams of the incident light contributes to changes in the polarization state.

When choosing a window, the user should consider whether the material's transmission properties and the mechanical properties of the substrate are consistent with specific requirements of the application. Coating is another important issue for choosing a proper window. WISOPTIC offer a wide variety optical windows with different coatings, e.g. anti-reflection coated precision windows for Nd:YAG laser applications.

Wisoptic' standard and precision quality laser windows are fabricated from a variety of substrate materials, e.g.  UVFS and N-BK7. They are available either with or without AR coatings, and with dia from 12.5 to 101.6 mm and thickness from 1 to 15 mm. Also we offer uncoated rectangular windows with aperture from 15 x 20 to 50.8 x 50.8 mm and thickness from 2 to 10 mm.

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.

Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) is widely used  in fiber communication devices as birefringent crystal and used as electro-optic modulator and Q-switch for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF and Ti:Sapphire lasers. It has good mechanical and physical properties and is ideal for optical polarizing components due to its wide transparency range and low cost. LiNbO3's applications for fiber communication include isolators, circulators, beam displacers, and other polarizing optics. The transverse modulation is mostly employed for LiNbO3 crystal.

    Potassium dideuterium phosphate DKDP (KD * P) crystal has low optical loss, high extinction ratio, and excellent electro-optical performance. DKDP Pockels cells are made by using the longitudinal effect of DKDP crystals. The modulation effect is stable and the pulse width is small.

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate KH2PO4 (KDP) is a transparent dielectric material best known for its nonlinear optical and electro-optical properties. Because of its nonlinear optical properties, it has been incorporated into various laser systems for harmonic generation and optoelectrical switching.

RTP crystal is widely used for Electro-Optic applications whenever low switching voltages are required. e.g. in laser Q-switching system with high frequency repetition, high power and narrow pulse width. RTP E-O devices are not only used in laser micromachining and laser ranging, but also in major scientific exploration projects due to their excellent comprehensive performance.As RTP is transparent from 400nm to 3.5µm, it can be used in multiple types of laser such as Er:YAG laser at 2.94µm with fairly good efficiency.

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.

The most notable benefit of aspheric lenses is their ability to correct for spherical aberration, an optical effect which causes incident light rays to focus at different points when forming an image, creating a blur. Spherical aberration is commonly seen in spherical lenses, such as plano-convex or double-convex lens shapes, but aspheric lenses focus light to a small point, creating comparatively no blur and improving image quality.

Optical Lenses are designed to focus or diverge light and for imaging or alignment in an optical system. Optical Lenses, which may consist of a single or multiple elements, have a variety of applications. Lens forms can be divided into simple lenses (which include plano-convex lens, plano-concave lens, double-convex lens, double-concave lens, cylinder lens, drum lens, spherical lens in different shapes), achromatic lenses compound lens and multiple types.

YLF is birefringent, which eliminates thermally induced depolarization loss. The gain and the emission wavelength of Nd:YLF are polarization dependent: there is the stronger 1047nm ray for π polarization, and a weaker one at 1053nm for σ polarization. Nd:YLF provides alternative to the more common Nd:YAG laser crystal for near IR operation.

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.

Lithium  Niobate (LN) crystal has excellent electro-optic, acousto-optic,  piezoelectric and nonlinear properties. More and more attention has been paid on its application in military technology. LN crystal has large nonlinear optical coefficient and can easily achieve non-critical phase matching. As an E-O material, LN crystal has been used as an important optical waveguide material.

Compared with congruent LN (cLN) crysal, the electro-optic coefficient, nonlinear optical coefficient, periodic polarization reversal voltage and applied photorefractive properties of stoichiometric LN (sLN) crystal are greatly improved. With such excellent physical properties and wide application prospects, sLN crystal has rapidly become a competitive optoelectronic material.sLN crystals are expected to be thermodynamically stable up to their melting temperature at 1170°C, while keeping a largerelectrical resistivity than cLN crystals by one order of magnitude at any temperature.

Compared to more commonly used KTP crystal, KTA crystal has larger non-linear optical and electro-optical coefficients. KTA has the added benefit of significantly reduced absorption in the 2 to 5 μm region.  It has found more and more applications in second harmonic generation (SHG), sum and difference frequency generation (SFG)/(DFG), optical parametric oscillation/ amplification (OPO/OPA), and electro-optical Q-switching. WISOPTIC do in-house growing and processing KTA crystal with high optical quality and various options of dimensional and coating specifications.

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.

The periodic polarized KTP (PPKTP) is a novel nonlinear optical material that can be customized to achieve all of the nonlinear applications required in the entire KTP crystal transmission band, without the phase matching limitations of conventional KTP. Moreover, the effective nonlinear coefficient of PPKTP is about 3 times higher than that of conventional KTP. In the nonlinear application of conventional KTP, the crystal must have a single domain structure, but PPKTP crystal has an artificially induced periodic domain structure.
