Roof Prism

 What Is Roof Prism?

The roof or Amici prism deviates or deflects the image through an angle of 90 degrees. It is a right-angle prism whose hypotenuse has been replaced by a 90-degree TIR roof. Glass that does not contribute to the clear aperture has been trimmed away to reduce size and weight.Description Of Roof PrismEcoptik Roof Prism is made from N-BK7, an RoHS compliant version of BK7, and can be used when a right angle deflection of an image or laser beam is required. In passing through the prism, the image is both deflected right-to-left and top-to-bottom. The hypotenuse of the custom optical prism utilizes total internal reflection (TIR) to reflect the image through the prism. Polarization states may become rotated during reflection.

 

The roof or Amici prism deviates or deflects the image through an angle of 90 degrees. It is a right-angle prism whose hypotenuse has been replaced by a 90-degree TIR roof. Glass that does not contribute to the clear aperture has been trimmed away to reduce size and weight.The roof prism refers to the type of the prism construct used in the binoculars. In the roof prism design, the alignment of the binoculars is done in a straight line. This makes these binoculars a little sleeker and more compact than their porro prism counterparts. These binoculars can be easily identified as the objective lenses line up to the eyepieces in a near-linear fashion.


Roof prism binoculars are technically more complicated than pro prism binoculars. The reason for this is that the prisms used in roof prism binoculars must be produced with exceptional care and they must also be of a higher quality than prisms used in Porro binoculars. Roof prisms also require top-quality coating.The advantage of binoculars with a roof prism is that they have straight tubes where the front or objective lens is in line with the rear or ocular lens, whereas binoculars with a Porro prism have tubes that are offset or not in alignment with each other. Roof prism binoculars are therefore more compact and easier to take along with you. It is also easier to seal them, making their internal lenses watertight and less susceptible to dust and damage. Since the front objectives in roof prism binoculars are not out of alignment, as is the case with Porro binoculars, the perception of depth will be less than they would be with Porro binoculars.

Quarter-wave plate

图片
  The 1/4 wave plate uses the anisotropic characteristics of the material to have different refractive indexes and propagation speeds for light in different polarization directions, resulting in a phase difference between the two components, and converting linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light, or converting circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light.   The 1/4 wave plate can realize the mutual conversion between linearly polarized light and circularly polarized light. Clever use of wave plates can also generate optical isolators, or simultaneously change the propagation direction and polarization direction of light.   The 1/4 wave plate can be applied to the laser. In the laser cavity, two quarter-wave plates placed on both sides of the gain medium can achieve single-frequency operation. A half-wave plate is placed between the laser crystal and the resonator mirror to reduce the depolarization loss. The combination of a half-wave plate and a polarizer

Polarization Beamsplitter Cube (PBS)

  Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters  Introduction Polarization beamsplitter cube  split randomly polarized beams into two orthog-onal, linearly, polarized components-S-polarized ligh is reflected at a 90°.   Angle while P-polarized light is transmitted. Each beamsplitter consists of a pair of precision high tolerance right angleprism cemented together with a dielectric coating on the hypotenuse of one of prism.   The coatings have been designed to hold both the S-and P-polarization components to the same ratio of reflection-to-transmission over aspecific laser wavelength region.   This means that they will not change the state of polarization of the incident beam. The low polarization dependence of the metallic-dielec-tric coating allows the transmission and reflection for S-and P-polarization states to be within 6% of each other. All entrance and exit surfaces are coated with a high efficiency, narrowband, anti-reflection coating. We offer both broadband and single wavelength.   Standard

What is a Double Concave Lens?

图片
  1. Introduction to double concave lens A double concave lens is also called a negative spherical lens. The middle of the lens is thin, the edge is thick, and it is concave, so it is also called a concave lens, which has a divergent effect on light.   The imaging law of the concave lens is: when the object is a real object, it becomes an upright, reduced virtual image, and the image and the object are on the same side of the lens. The concave lens has a divergent effect on the light, so the lens is also called a divergent lens, a negative spherical lens.   2. Features of biconcave lens: A double concave lens is concave on both sides and has the same radius of curvature. A double concave lens with a negative focal length is usually used for beam collimation, increasing (decreasing) the focal length or enlarging (shrink) the image.   The double concave lens has a negative focal length and is often used in imaging or beam collimation applications. The coated lens is also widely used in v
