`

`
`D ⫽ A (n ⫺ 1)
`

`
`If the prism angle A is small but the angle of incidence I is not small,
`we get the following approximate expression for D (which neglects
`powers of I larger than 3).
`
`D ⫽ A (n ⫺ 1) 冤1 ⫹

`
`These expressions are of great utility in evaluating the effects of a
`small prismatic error in the construction of an optical system since it
`allows the resultant deviation of the light beam to be determined quite
`readily.
`The dispersion of a “thin” prism is obtained by differentiating Eq.
`4.8a with respect to n, which gives dD ⫽ Adn. If we substitute A from
`Eq. 4.8a, we get
`
`dnᎏ
`(n ⫺ 1)
`Now the fraction (n ⫺ 1)/⌬n is one of the basic numbers used to char-
`acterize optical materials. It is called the reciprocal relative dispersion,

`Abbe V number, or V-value. Ordinarily n is taken as the index for the
`helium d line (0.5876 m) and ⌬n is the index difference between the
`hydrogen F(0.4861 m) and C(0.6563 m) lines, and the V-value is giv-

`Making the substitution of 1/V for dn/(n ⫺ 1) in Eq. 4.9, we get

`duced by a thin prism.

`
`4.4 Minimum Deviation
`The deviation of a prism is a function of the initial angle of incidence
`I1. It can be shown that the deviation is at a minimum when the ray
`passes symmetrically through the prism. In this case I1 ⫽ I′2 ⫽ 1⁄2(A ⫹
`D) and I′1 ⫽ I2 ⫽ A/2, so that if we know the prism angle A and the
`minimum deviation angle D0 it is a simple matter to compute the index
`of the prism from
`
`n ⫽
`
`⫽
`
`sin 1⁄2 (A + D0)ᎏᎏ
`sin I1ᎏ
`sin I′1
`sin 1⁄2 A
`This is a widely used method for the precise measurement of index,
`since the minimum deviation position is readily determined on a spec-
`trometer. This position for the prism is also approximated in most
`spectral instruments because it allows the largest diameter beam to
`pass through a given prism and also produces the smallest amount of
`loss due to surface reflections.
`
`(4.12)
`
`4.5 The Achromatic Prism and the Direct
`Vision Prism
`It is occasionally useful to produce an angular deviation of a light
`beam without introducing any chromatic dispersion. This can be done
`by combining two prisms, one of high-dispersion glass and the other of
`low-dispersion glass. We desire the sum of their deviations to equal
`D1,2 and the sum of their dispersions to equal zero. Using the equations
`for “thin” prisms (Eqs. 4.8 and 4.11), we can express these require-
`ments as follows:
`
`Deviation D1,2
`
`⫽ D1
`
`⫹ D2
`
`⫽ A1 (n1
`
`⫺ 1) ⫹ A2 (n2
`
`⫺ 1)
