Image Rotation in Optical Correlators through Rotational Devices.

Abstract

An analysis is conducted of parallel faced, image rotation prisms to determine their offset and other beam phase change effects under perfect, and less than perfect, constructions. The results show that offset by a 'perfect' prism generally does not affect optical correlator performance but wedges greater than 0.2 arc second seriously affect correlator performance. (Author)
