PG&O® Provides Littrow Prisms for Laser Cavities & Other Optical Systems
PG&O offers a wide range of coated and uncoated Littrow prisms featuring 30- 60- and 90-degree angles.
August 21, 2013 - Santa Ana, CA - Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O - www.pgo.com), global experts in optical manufacturing, precision thin film coatings, and customized optical solutions, announces a line of Littrow dispersion prisms for laser cavities and other optical systems, such as spectrographs.
PG&O offers a wide range of coated and uncoated Littrow prisms featuring 30- 60- and 90-degree angles. Uncoated prisms are ideal for image (or light) dispersion because they can disperse white light into its spectral components. Coated Littrow prisms feature an anti-reflective coating on the surface opposite the 60-degree angle to provide a constant deviation prism. The coated prism is ideal for use in laser cavities and applications where it is critical to limit lasing to a specific wavelength. For a given wavelength, the refracted ray entering the prism travels normally to the reflectively-coated exit face, then back along its original path.
Littrow prisms from PG&O feature angular tolerance >1 arc second, surface quality of 10/5, surface accuracy λ/20, and dimensional tolerances ± .001 in. PG&O also offers high performance turnkey optical solutions, including precision and commercial components for a variety of applications. All precision thin film coatings are manufactured to MIL specs, including metal and dielectric mirrors, beamsplitters, filters, antireflection coatings, neutral density filters, transparent electro-conductive coatings, and other hard and dense optical coatings needed for high performance and durability.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
