Sapphire/K9 Glass Dove Prism
Sapphire/K9 Glass Dove Prism
Named for its inventor Harting Dove, dove prism( with antireflection coatings on the ends) completely invert an image by 180 degrees. If the optical dove prism is rotated about its axis the image will rotate at twice the rate of rotation of the optical prism. Glass dove prisms provide a convenient and precise method of rotating a beam. The long length and square profile makes them easy to mount in a cylindrical sleeve.
As the optical right angle prism is rotated about its optical axis, the image will rotate at twice the angular rate of the prism. Since the length of the prism is approximately four times the height, the incident light must be parallel or collimated.
For applications in which the hypotenuse cannot be kept sufficiently clean for TIR, a metal or dielectric coating can be applied to the hypotenuse.
