Abstract
A color-separation prism assembly comprises first, second and third prisms. The first and second prisms have entrance surfaces, exit surfaces, and partially-reflecting surfaces, wherein the entrance surface of the second prism is separated by an air gap from the partially-reflecting surface of the first prism. The third prism has an entrance surface and an exit surface, wherein the entrance surface of the third prism is adjacent to the partially-reflecting surface of the second prism. The first prism has a cut-out serving as a flare-stop stop, and providing relief so as to allow the entrance surface of the third prism to slide across a plane disposed over the cut-out into a volume defined by the cut-out. The plane is formed as an extension of the partially-reflecting surface of the first prism. An optical axis passes through the first, second and third prisms. The optical axis passes at normal angles through the entrance surface of the first prism, and the exit surfaces of the first, second and third prisms. The partially reflecting surfaces each have angles-of-incidence of less than 30.degree. relative to the optical axis.
