Custom Sapphire Prisms


Custom Sapphire  optical Prisms

Optical prisms, transparent optical elements with polished flat surfaces for light refraction or reflection, find utility in beam deviation and image orientation adjustments.

In demanding applications across various industries, particularly in challenging environments like vacuum, high heat, and corrosive atmospheres, single crystal sapphire (Al2O3) prisms stand out. With an impressive surface hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale, high thermal conduction, and resistance to common chemical acids and alkalis, sapphire prisms excel, especially in laser systems.

The outstanding structural strength of sapphire allows the production of more compact prisms compared to those made from other materials. Sapphire demonstrates excellent transmittance within the range of 0.15 to 5.5 m, covering the UV to MWIR wavelength spectrum. This, coupled with good transmission characteristics in the visible and near-IR spectrum, makes sapphire an ideal choice for optical prisms in specialized fields such as space technology, where resistance to scratches and high temperatures is essential.

Blue Box optics specializes in manufacturing custom sapphire prisms in various sizes and diameters tailored for optical applications in the visible, UV, and near-infrared spectra. Our offerings include customized prisms based on customer specifications, featuring diverse shapes such as right-angle prisms, 60° equilateral dispersing prisms, and other custom designs like dove prisms, Penta prisms, roof prisms, and rhomboid prisms.

What's optical prism?

Sapphire Prisms

Prisms play a crucial role in optics. The plane from which light emanates is termed the side, while the plane perpendicular to the side is referred to as the main section. The configuration of the main section encompasses various types, such as prisms, right-angle prisms, pentagonal prisms, and more. The main section of a prism is essentially a triangular shape with two refractive surfaces, characterized by the apex angle. The plane opposite the apex angle is known as the base.

As light traverses through the prism under the law of refraction, it undergoes a two-fold displacement towards the base. The angle between the emitted light and the incident light denoted as θ, is termed the deviation angle. This angle is influenced by the refractive index (n) and the incident angle (i) of the prism medium. When the incident angle is constant, different wavelengths exhibit distinct deviation angles, with violet having the largest angle and red the smallest in the visible light spectrum.

A prism, crafted through modeling, grinding, polishing, and other processes using solid optical glass, forms an angular glass block. Prisms serve two primary functions: dispersion and imaging. Distinctions among prism types are typically based on their properties and applications. The four main prism types and their features include dispersive prisms, deflection prisms, rotation prisms, and offset prisms. Dispersive prisms are tailored for use in dispersive light sources, while deflection, rotation, and offset prisms excel in high-quality imaging applications.

Blue Box optics specializes in crafting various custom sapphire prisms, including sapphire right-angle prisms, sapphire triangle prisms, sapphire corner cube prisms, sapphire wedge prisms, sapphire penta prisms, sapphire dove prisms, and other bespoke designs.

The light transmission properties of sapphire are pretty good

As an ideal material for UV and IR applications, a sapphire stands out for its ability to transmit extensively into both UV and IR bands. Its thermal and chemical resilience allows it to withstand extreme plasmas and temperatures, surpassing the capabilities of other materials. Even under such conditions, a sapphire continues to transmit high-powered UV, visible, and IR light for extended periods without any degradation.

These unique properties position sapphire as the preferred material for UV/VIS/IR sensors, IR surveillance, reconnaissance, and broadband inspection equipment, especially in scenarios involving abrasives.

Sapphire emerges as the top choice for pyrometry, offering wide wavelength transmission while effectively isolating hot zones up to 2000°C from external room temperature observation. This makes sapphire the perfect material for furnaces and high-temperature processing equipment.

In the realm of medical and dental tools requiring UV sterilization, curing, and IR thermal processing, sapphire windows, and transparent tools shine in their performance.
