Custom prism assemblies enable construction of compact beam multiplexing systems for bioinstrumentation and analytical instruments. The monolithic assemblies allow multiple beams to be combined, split, or redirected based on differences in wavelength and/or polarization. The prism assemblies have low transmitted wavefront distortion values (as low as λ/10 at 633 nm), beam deviation tolerances in the arc second range, and the capability for precise control of output beam phase relationships. Fabricated from numerous substrate materials for applications in the ultraviolet, visible or infrared, typically based on prisms in the 3 mm to 25.4 mm size range.
