Description
Wedge prism is an optical element with plane-inclined surfaces, usually the faces are inclined toward one another at a very small angles. It diverts light toward its thicker portion.
By selecting the appropriate wedge it is simple to create a precise beam deviation without affecting other beam parameters. If two wedges are used together with the sloping surfaces in close proximity it is possible to produce a continuous variation of beam deviation by counter - rotating the wedges.
