ABSTRACT:
Optical spot displacement apparatus comprises a face that is divided into a plurality of columns; each column of the plurality including a predetermined number of prisms, the predetermined number of prisms of a same column configured within the corresponding column to displace at least one incident light beam a common predetermined distance from incidence, and the predetermined number of prisms of different columns configured within each corresponding column to displace the at least one incident light beam a different predetermined distance from incidence.
