    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical device for deflecting a light beam, including: —a first flat reflective element arranged so as to reflect an incoming light beam into a reflected light beam, extending in a first plane, the incoming light beam and the reflected light beam defining an incidence plane; and —a second flat reflective element, arranged to reflect the reflected light beam into an outgoing light beam, extending in a second plane that is transverse to the plane of incidence. The first plane and the second plane are secant along a line of intersection and form between them a dihedral angle. The first reflective element and the second reflective element can be rotated together about an axis of rotation substantially coincident with the line of intersection.
