Wedge prisms find applications in steering light beams. Two wedge prisms of equal power, used together can steer input light beams within a narrow cone. Wedge prism produces a small deviation to the light beam which doesn't allow the light return to the source. Holmarc offers wedge prisms in three options; uncoated, single layer MgF2 coated, and broadband AR coated.
Wedge prisms can be used as isolating components. Wedge prism may also be used to produce a small deviation which doesn’t allow light returning to source. Two wedge prisms can be combined to steer a beam anywhere within a circle defined by 4 times the angular deviation of a single wedge.
