POSITIVE OPTICS ยท CUSTOM MANUFACTURING
Custom Optical Prisms
Optical prisms manufactured to defined geometry, surface and coating requirements. Share your drawing and intended beam path for an application focused review.

Specify the Geometry and the Optical Path Together
Prism selection depends on how light enters, travels through and leaves the component. A useful manufacturing drawing identifies the optical surfaces, angles, dimensions, clear apertures and mounting references. Include a beam path sketch when the function is not obvious from the mechanical drawing.
Specifications to Include in Your RFQ
The items below are information to supply for technical review. Manufacturing limits and acceptance criteria are confirmed in your quotation.
Geometry
Prism type, face dimensions, angles, edge details and mechanical reference surfaces.
Beam path
Entry and exit faces, required beam deviation, operating wavelength and clear apertures.
Material
Required optical material or grade and any operating temperature or environmental conditions.
Optical surfaces
Surface quality, flatness, angle tolerances and coated or uncoated face identification.
Delivery requirements
Drawing revision, quantity, inspection documentation and requested delivery date.
Manufacturing and Coating, Defined Together
Identify each surface requiring anti-reflection, reflective or other specified coating. Include wavelength range, angle of incidence and polarization for the relevant faces. Geometry, material choice and coating requirements are reviewed together before manufacturing is confirmed.
Positive Optics offers production, coating and customization. Standard lead time is within four weeks; the schedule for your component, coating and quantity is confirmed in the quotation.
See Our Custom Optics ProcessFrequently Asked Questions
Can you manufacture a prism from my drawing?
Yes. Send a dimensioned drawing with angle tolerances, surface requirements and clear apertures. Include the optical path where useful.
Can different prism surfaces receive different coatings?
Specify the requirement for each numbered face. Coating feasibility and masking requirements are reviewed for your geometry.
What if I only know the required beam direction?
Provide a beam path sketch, wavelength, aperture and space constraints. The missing design specifications should be clarified before a manufacturing quote is finalized.
Which dimensions matter most in the enquiry?
Include all drawing requirements and identify the critical angles, optical surfaces and mounting datums. This helps align the quotation with your assembly.
