ThinPrism

class hcipy.optics.ThinPrism(angle, refractive_index, orientation=0)[source]

A thin prism that operates in the paraxial regime.

Parameters:

anglescalar: The wedge angle of the prism in radians.
orientationscalar: The orientation of the prism in radians. The default orientation is aligned along the x-axis.
refractive_indexscalar or function of wavelength: The refractive index of the prism.

Methods Summary

`minimal_deviation_angle`(wavelength)	Find the angle of minimal deviation for a paraxial prism.
`trace`(wavelength)	Trace a paraxial ray through the prism.
