Wedge prisms

These Wedge Prisms when used as an equal pair and in combination are used for steering a beam of light.  They can also be used for eliminating second surface reflection.

The deviation produced by a wedge is given approximately by (n-1) W (where W is the wedge angle) this varies slightly with wavelength.
