Wedge prisms are used as beamsteering elements in optical system. By combining two wedges of equal power in near contact, and independently rotating them, a ray can be steered in any direction within the narrow cone. The equation to determine the deviation angle is:
¦Èd = arcsin(nsin¦Èw)- ¦Èw
Where ¦Èd is the deviation angle, ¦Èw is the wedge angle, and n is the nominal index at the appropriate wavelength..
