What is a Dove Prism?
A Dove prism is a reflective optical prism designed for image inversion and image rotation applications. When the prism is rotated around its optical axis, the transmitted image rotates at twice the angle of the prism rotation, making it highly useful in precision optical systems.
Why Use Optical Dove Prisms?
Dove prisms provide compact image manipulation capabilities without requiring complex optical assemblies. They are widely used in laser optics, machine vision systems, interferometers, optical inspection equipment, and scientific research instruments.
