What is optical prism?
Prism, in optics, a piece of glass or other transparent material cut with precise angles and plane faces, useful for analyzing and reflecting light. An ordinary triangular prism can separate white light into its constituent colors, called a spectrum.
Characteristics of Prisms
Prism’s ability to be modeled as a system of plane mirrors in order to simulate the reflection of light within the prism medium.
Replacing mirror assemblies is perhaps the most useful application of prisms, since they both bend or fold light and change image parity.
Types of prisms
There are four main types of prisms: dispersion prisms, deviation, or reflection prisms, rotation prisms, and displacement prisms.
Deviation, displacement, and rotation prisms are common in imaging applications; dispersion prisms are strictly made for dispersing light, therefore not suitable for any application requiring quality images.
Dispersion Prisms
Optical prism dispersion is dependent upon the geometry of the prism and its index dispersion curve, based on the wavelength and index of refraction of the prism substrate.
