Brewster angle dispersing prisms can be critical components in ultrashort pulse laser systems. These prisms are used intracavity to compensate for dispersion of fixed cavity optics, such as a Ti:Sapphire crystal, or external cavity to manipulate the pulse characteristics.
- UVFS, SF10 or N-LaKL21 equivalent material
- Ideal for precise dispersion compensation
- Manipulate external cavity pulses
- 15 mm or 25 mm sizes See All Features

High Quality Brewster's Angle Prisms
Prism Compressor for Ultrashort Pulses
Two identical Brewster Angle Prisms and a folding mirror are used to create an ultrafast prism compressor. Prisms are the optics of choice for intracavity dispersion compression. For more information on how to select the proper prism material and the associated calculations for compression, please see Application Note 29. See the parts list of the shown setup example below.

15 mm or 25 mm Sized Brewster Angle Prisms
Two sizes are available in each material: 25 mm and 15 mm. The 25 mm prism provides more material for light to propagate through and hence offers more flexibility when used for beam displacement. The 15 mm prism is ideal in environments with space constraints.
The Brewster Apex angle is dependent on material and is listed below.
| Material | Apex Angle |
| Fused Silica | 69.06° |
| N-LaK21 | 63.00° |
| N-SF10 | 60.60° |
