Glan-Foucault prism — A Glan Foucault prism (also called a Glan air prism) is a type of prism which is used as a polarizer. It is similar in construction to a Glan Thompson prism, except that two right angled calcite prisms are spaced with an air gap instead of… … Wikipedia
Prism (optics) — For other uses, see Prism (disambiguation). A plastic prism In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. The exact angles between the surfaces depend on the application. The traditional… … Wikipedia

Glan-Thompson prism — A Glan Thompson prism is a type of polarizing prism similar to a Nicol prism. It consists of two right angled calcite prisms that are cemented together by their long faces. The optical axes of the calcite crystals are parallel and aligned… … Wikipedia
Nicol prism — A Nicol prism A Nicol prism is a type of polarizer, an optical device used to produce a polarized beam of light from an unpolarized beam. See polarized light. It was the first type of polarizing prism to be invented, in 1828 by William Nicol… … Wikipedia
Nomarski prism — A Nomarski prism is a modification of the Wollaston prism that is used in differential interference contrast microscopy. It is named after its inventor, Polish physicist Georges Nomarski. Like the Wollaston prism, the Nomarski prism consists of… … Wikipedia
Wollaston prism — A Wollaston prism is an optical device, invented by William Hyde Wollaston, that manipulates polarized light. It separates randomly polarized or unpolarized light into two orthogonal, linearly polarized outgoing beams.The Wollaston prism consists … Wikipedia
