Product description:
Pellin Broca prisms are constant deviation (90°) dispersing prisms. The input angle is arranged so that total internal reflection occurs at the internal face. This will provide a constant 90° deflection for the beam with dispersion. If the input beam enters the long side of the prism the longer wavelengths will be deviated less.
See the following illustration, a light beam enters the prisms via surface S1, undergoes total internal reflection from S2 surface and exits via surface S3. The prism is designed in a way that one particular wavelength is deviated by 90°. As the prism is rotated, the selected wavelength which is deviated by 90° is changed without changing the geometry or relative positions of the input and output beams.
Schematic drawing
These Pellin Broca prisms provide a convenient way to compensate for group velocity dispersion in ultra-fast lasers or to separate harmonic wavelengths in an incoming laser beam. For this reason, they are commonly used in optical atomic spectroscopy.
