Het Prisma van de Rechte hoek

Right angle prism is deviating or deflecting a beam of light with 90° or 180°. It is often used in telescope, periscope and other optical system. Furthermore, Laser grade right angle prism is also available by Tempotec. Please see the following chapter " laser optics" for more information.    
 
A Right-Angle Prism is used as a mirror to deviate light through 90 degree, and also as a retroreflector to deflect light throgh 180 degree by total internal reflection.   
 
 
90-degree Deflection   
90 degree deflection occurs at the hyotenuse face.The image is erected and reversed.    
 
 
 
 
 
180-degree Deflection   
180 degree deflection uses with hypotenuse as the entrance and exit face.   
The mail application of it is used as a retroreflector provided that the plane of incident beam includes the vertex.
