What is an Optical Dove Prism
An optical dove prism is a type of precision prism used to rotate an image while maintaining its orientation.
When the prism is rotated around its optical axis the output image rotates at twice the angle of the prism rotation. This unique characteristic makes the dove prism suitable for image rotation alignment and scanning applications.
