Abstract

A new method of analog light beam deflection, employing the principle of multiple passage of plane waves through an electro-optic prism is described. Design of the system bears resemblance to the design of a double-pass monochromator. The number of passages depends on such parameters as the focal length, beam width, maximum deflection angle per round trip, and total lens field. A preliminary version of the deflector using a KDP prism and a Questar telescope is discussed.
