A new type of planar electro-optic prism array is presented. The array is composed of an individual pair of prisms that gives a sawtooth phase shift to the wave front of the transmitted optical beam; thus the array acts as a triangular phase grating. Theoretical analysis as well as experimental work show that the array behaves as a beam splitter. The splitting of the beam is voltage controllable.
