Did you know TracePro has several options for making triangular optical prisms. Triangular prisms are optical components that can be used to refract and/or reflect light. Some applications include dispersing light into its component wavelengths, retro reflectors, beam splitters, image erectors, and many other applications.
There are several ways to make triangular prisms in TracePro. The first option would be to use the Primitive Solids, such as Blocks and the Boolean operators to make a prism.
A second option would be to use the Thin Sheet to define the vertices of the prism and then sweep the Thin Sheet to make a solid object.
A third option would be to use the Geometry Modeler in TracePro LC or the Interactive Optimizer in the Standard and Expert editions of TracePro. Either the Symmetric or Asymmetric 2D Profile can be used to make the profile of the prism and then that profile can be extruded to make the solid prism object. This object could then be exported to TracePro.
Triangular prisms can be very useful tools in optical design. TracePro gives you the tools and capabilities to make the triangular prisms you need for your designs.
