Ultraopto’s Dove Prism is a high-precision optical component specialized in 360° continuous distortion-free image rotation and light path adjustment, serving as a core optical part in high-resolution optical imaging systems, laser alignment setups, precision optical instrumentation and a variety of professional optical equipment across aerospace, biomedical and industrial fields. Characterized by its unique wedge-shaped structural design with a truncated apex, our Dove Prism can realize smooth 360° image rotation by simply rotating the prism itself, without altering the direction of the incident and emergent light paths, which greatly simplifies the structural design of complex optical systems and improves the flexibility and accuracy of optical path and image adjustment for high-precision detection and observation applications.
We manufacture our Dove Prisms with advanced ultra-precise grinding and polishing processes, implementing strict micron and arcsecond-level tolerance control over all critical optical parameters including angular accuracy, surface flatness, parallelism of the incident and emergent surfaces, and image rotation precision. Every Dove Prism is crafted from premium high-transmittance optical materials including N-BK7, Fused Silica and other high-quality optical substrates, carefully selected for their excellent optical transmittance across UV, visible and IR spectral ranges, high surface hardness, stable optical properties and resistance to environmental changes, able to meet the diverse wavelength and performance requirements of professional optical systems, and withstand the stringent working conditions of high-precision scientific research and industrial production.
Our rigorous multi-stage production quality control system, covering raw material selection, rough processing, fine polishing, coating and finished product testing, ensures that each Dove Prism meets international high-end optical manufacturing standards, delivering consistent and reliable image rotation performance and stable low-loss light path transmission in aerospace optical sensors, biomedical imaging equipment, industrial machine vision systems and scientific research laboratories. Our Dove Prisms boast outstanding core optical advantages, with ultra-precise image rotation performance that ensures distortion-free and high-fidelity image rotation at any angle, maintaining clear light signal transmission and image quality, which is a key requirement for high-precision optical imaging, laser alignment and astronomical observation applications.
The optimized optical design and advanced surface processing technology realize high light transmittance and low optical loss, minimizing surface reflection and scattering loss through precision polishing, maximizing the utilization of light energy and reducing signal attenuation in the light path transmission and image rotation process, effectively enhancing the overall performance and detection accuracy of the optical system. The high dimensional precision and flawless surface quality of the prism ensure seamless integration with various optical systems and equipment, avoiding optical path offset, coupling errors and image distortion caused by dimensional deviations or surface defects such as scratches and pits, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire optical setup during long-term operation.
We also provide customized wavelength-specific anti-reflection (AR) and high-reflection (HR) coating services for Dove Prisms, further reducing surface reflection loss and improving optical transmittance for specific spectral ranges, making the product more suitable for the unique wavelength and application scenarios of customers' optical systems. In addition, the prism features a compact and robust structural design, with durable vacuum-plated coatings that provide excellent environmental adaptability, including resistance to temperature changes, mechanical vibration, humidity and industrial field wear, ensuring long-term stable and reliable operation in complex industrial working environments, harsh outdoor optical application scenarios and high-precision laboratory conditions.
