Prisms
Type of prisms:
A prism is an optical device that refract, reflect or disperse light into its spectral
components. They are also used to polarize light by prisms from birefringent media.

Pellin-Broca Prism
Abbe Prism
Ernst Karl
Abbe
1840-1905
At Pellin-Broca Prism an
incident ray of wavelength
λ passes the prism at a
dispersing angle of 90°.
Because the dispersing angle
is a function of wavelength
the ray at other wavelengths
exit at different angles.
By rotating the prism around
an axis normal to the page
different rays will exit at
the 90°.
At Abbe Prism the dispersing
angle is 60°.

Penta Prism
Optics - Prisms
Roof Penta Prism
Penta Prism is a five (penta) sided prism that
deflects the light by 90º without inverting or
reversing it. The two reflecting sides are coated
(mirrors).
It is used for range finding, alignment, surveying
optical tooling.
In the RoofPenta Prism one of the reflecting
surface is replaced by a “roof” constitute of two
surfaces that intersect at an angle of 90º.
The reflecting sides are coated (mirrors).
It is used in the viewfinder of a single lens
reflecting camera.

Double Porro Prism
Porro prism is a right-angle

Corner Cube, Corner Reflector
The Corner Cube has three mutually perpendicular
surfaces and a hypotenuse face. The light enters
through the hypotenuse is reflected by each of the
three surfaces in turn and emerges through the
hypotenuse surface parallel to the entering ray.
Carl Zeiss Prism System
The system is composed by three
single prisms which invert and rotate
the image, but does not deviate the line
of sight. The line of sight is displaced by
a distance depending on the relative
position of the first and second prism.

Polarization can be achieved with crystalline materials which have a different index of
refraction in different planes. Such materials are said to be birefringent or doubly refracting.
Nicol Prism
The Nicol Prism is made up from
two prisms of calcite cemented
with Canada balsam. The
ordinary ray can be made to
totally reflect off the prism

Polarizing Prisms
A Glan-Foucault prism deflects polarized light
transmitting the s-polarized component.
The optical axis of the prism material is
perpendicular to the plane of the diagram.
A Glan-Taylor prism reflects polarized light
at an internal air-gap, transmitting only
the p-polarized component.
The optical axes are vertical in the plane of
the diagram.
A Glan-Thompson prism deflects the p-polarized
ordinary ray whilst transmitting the s-polarized
extraordinary ray.
The two halves of the prism are joined with
Optical cement, and the crystal axis are
perpendicular to the plane of the diagram.
