Types of Optical Prisms We Manufacture
We produce a comprehensive range of K9 optical prisms to suit diverse optical system requirements. Each type is custom-manufactured to your exact specifications.
Right Angle Prisms
90° deviation with hypotenuse reflection. Used in beam steering, periscopes, and image erection systems. Available from 3 mm to 200 mm.
Equilateral Prisms
60° equilateral design for light dispersion and wavelength separation. Ideal for spectroscopy, educational demonstrations, and wavelength selection.
Penta & Roof Prisms
Constant 90° deviation independent of orientation. Used in surveying instruments, rangefinders, and terrestrial telescopes. High angular accuracy.
Corner Cube & Dove Prisms
Retroreflectors and image rotators for laser tracking, alignment, and interferometry. Dove prisms rotate images without deviating the beam path.
Key Features & Advantages of K9 Optical Prisms
Our optical prisms are engineered for reliability in demanding optical systems. Each prism is manufactured with precision processes and thorough quality control.
Superior Transmission
Excellent transmittance from 350 nm to 2.0 μm with low absorption, making our optical prisms ideal for UV, visible, and near-IR applications.
Thermal Stability
Low coefficient of thermal expansion (7.1 × 10-6/K) ensures stable optical performance across varying environmental temperatures.
Chemical Durability
Class 1 hydrolytic resistance and climate resistance per ISO 719, ensuring long-term stability of our optical prisms in humid or harsh environments.
Minimal Bubble & Inclusion
Bubble class 1 (ISO 10110-3) with extremely low inclusion content. Each batch of optical prisms is inspected under controlled illumination.
Custom Coatings
Apply anti-reflective, high-reflective, beamsplitter or metallic reflective coatings. In-house coating capability reduces lead time and ensures quality.
Full Inspection Report
Every batch of optical prisms ships with a detailed quality inspection report including interferometry data, angle measurement, and surface quality verification.

Frequently Asked Questions About K9 Optical Prisms
What is the difference between K9 and N-BK7 optical glass for prisms?
K9 (H-K9L) is the Chinese standard borosilicate crown glass with optical performance equivalent to Schott N-BK7. Both feature nearly identical refractive index (nd ≈ 1.5168 at 587.6 nm) and Abbe number (νd ≈ 64.2). Our optical prisms can be manufactured from either material based on your preference, with H-K9L offering a cost-effective alternative without compromising optical performance.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom optical prisms?
No minimum order quantity. We accept orders starting from 1 piece for prototype and sample evaluation. For production quantities, typical batch pricing applies for 10–50 pieces depending on component complexity. Contact our sales team with your drawing for a tailored quotation.
Can you apply anti-reflective coatings on K9 optical prisms?
Yes. We offer single-layer MgF2 AR coatings (R < 1.5% per surface), broadband AR coatings (Ravg < 0.5% from 400–700 nm or customized spectral ranges), and high-power laser coatings. Coated optical prisms achieve significantly higher throughput in multi-element optical systems.
What tolerances can you guarantee on optical prisms?
Standard tolerance: Angle ±3 arc min, surface flatness λ/4, surface quality 60/40, dimensional tolerance ±0.1 mm. Precision tolerance: Angle ±30 arc sec, surface flatness λ/10, surface quality 20/10, dimensional tolerance ±0.02 mm. Specify your requirements when inquiring about custom optical prisms.
Can you supply reflective metallic coatings on prism surfaces?
Yes. Aluminum, silver, gold metallic reflective coatings with protective overcoats are available for reflective prism surfaces upon customer request.
How do you package and ship optical prisms internationally?
Optical prisms are individually wrapped in lens tissue, placed in anti-static foam-lined boxes, and shipped in double-wall corrugated cartons. We ship worldwide via DHL, FedEx, UPS, or sea freight. Custom packaging and labeling are available for OEM requirements.
