4. For the largest angle used in our experiment, the paraxial approximation yields an error of <1%. In any case we can readily generalize the expression in the text to deal accurately with arbitrary large angles.
5. We also rotated the prism array at 45° to the optical axis to separate the reflected wave from the incident wave. This rotation results in simple folding of the optical axis, as shown in Fig. 1.
6. 2x + W/2.
7. The improvement in the rms width of the resolution was only tenfold, as required by Eq. (1).
