A Lateral Transfer Hollow Periscope (LTHP) is an optical device designed to laterally shift a laser beam by a fixed amount, without inverting, rotating, or altering the beam’s orientation.

In applications when the LTHP is vibrated, the exiting beam remains static and maintains perfect parallelism with the entrance beam. The LTHP is also useful where one of the mirrors is a 50-50 beamsplitter. This configuration produces two output beams, precisely parallel to each other, traveling in the same direction. In addition, the LTHP is extremely temperature stable because all component parts have the same coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).

PLX is a Luxium Solutions brand that has been at the forefront of developing high-quality monolithic optics for over 60 years. PLX optics can withstand and perform under the harshest environmental conditions and maintain their accuracy over time.
