Prism Calcite/Quartz
High-Purity Birefringent Substrate: Sourced from premium-grade natural Calcite or Quartz, these prisms are precision-cut to maximize the spatial separation of polarized wavefronts for high-contrast optical ray-splitting demonstrations.
Diamond-Polished Optical Faces: Engineered with strict angular tolerances and ultra-smooth surfaces to minimize internal scattering and ensure high spectral transmission across the UV to Near-Infrared (NIR) range.
