A micro prism, as the name suggests, is a very small version of an optical prism. Though there are many types of prisms, micro prisms are generally used to direct light in fiber optic communications, particularly in optical switches. Two types of micro prisms prove useful for these and other applications.
Right-angle and penta micro prisms have a number of applications in fiber optics and beyond. Many of these applications require prisms that are tailored to unique specifications and fine-tuned for perfect performance. At Shanghai Optics, we manufacture micro prisms that meet both of these requirements. To ensure that our custom optical switch prisms meet your specifications, our production staff members follow ISO 9001 standards and use state-of-the-art metrology equipment to test performance.
