Abstract
An optical assembly includes a housing, and an optical filter and an optical compensator disposed within the housing. The optical filter is oriented at a first non-zero angle in a first tilt direction with respect to an optical axis of the optical assembly. The optical compensator is oriented at a second non-zero angle in a second tilt direction with respect to the normal of the optical axis of the optical assembly. The optical filter is configured to pass, to the optical compensator, a portion of an optical beam that impinges on the optical filter along an optical axis of the optical assembly, such that the portion of the optical beam is offset from the optical axis. The optical compensator is configured to cause the portion of the optical beam to propagate out of the optical assembly along the optical axis of the optical assembly (or with a minimized offset).
