An optical device has first and second non-parallel optical paths, and a
light reflecting surface. The reflecting surface may have a first and
second planar portion. The first planar portion receives light from the
first path to reflect the light toward the second path. The second planar
portion may form an angle .theta.1 with the first planar portion. Angle
.theta.1 satisfies a condition of
175.degree..ltoreq..theta.<180.degree. in either clockwise or
counterclockwise rotation from the first planar portion.
