Abstract

Optical wedge is the common optics in optical system and has been widely applied in the photo-electrical collimators. This paper systematically analyses and sums the fabrication method of controlling wedge angle accuracy, exact measurement of wedge angle, distinction between basic and inclined phanes and their markings, angle control and cylindrical disalignment of double-glued wedge as well as its proper assembly and testing. From the viewpoint of wedge design, manufacture, glue, assembly and testing, some attentions and solutions were proposed to assure high quality, high machining efficiency and assembly reliability so as to provide excellent performance in photo-electrical stabilized sight systems.
