    Abstract: An apparatus for a beam steering device includes a rotator constituting a cylindrical body extending along an axis and defining a central passage therethrough. A wedge-shaped prism is secured to the body within the central passage. The prism has a first surface extending perpendicular to the axis and a second surface extending transverse to the axis. A drive member is provided on one of an axial end surface and a radially outer surface of the body for rotating the rotator. An encoder member is provided on the same surface of the body as the drive member for tracking the position of the rotator.
