A process and apparatus for sweeping a flat optical light plane perpendicular to a primary input laser beam for use in precise alignment applications includes rotatably mounting a penta prism onto a spindle such that the laser beam intersects the entrance face of the penta prism. In addition, the path of the laser beam intersects the actual axis of rotation of the spindle at a designated point which is positioned as a function of the geometry of the penta prism, and the first relfecting surface of the penta prism is located intermediate the laser device and said designated point. In operation, rotation of the penta prism about the spindle results in the development of a flat, true optical light plane.
