Optical characteristics of gas-dynamic prisms

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

An aerooptical element, the gas-dynamic prism, is theoretically and experimentally studied. The gas-dynamic prism enables one to deviate a light beam by significant angles. A model for such a prism and a technique for calculating its gas-dynamic and optical characteristics are proposed. Good agreement is noted between the calculations and the experimental data.
