Wedge Prisms – Precision Beam Deviation & Steering
Detailed Description:
Wedge Prisms are thin, angled optical elements that deviate a collimated laser beam by a fixed angle based on the wedge angle and refractive index. Pairing two wedge prisms allows for continuous 2D beam steering, making them ideal for laser scanning, optical tweezers, and beam alignment applications.
