Do you mean one of those clear plastic prisms that brings light from the LED
up to the front of a piece of consumer-electronics?  You might try enabling
photons and setting the optic guide as a "target."

Also see the insert-menu item "Photons scene" under "scene templates" (if
you're using Windows)for a good demonstrations of using photons.

I haven't tried it, but I have a feeling you may also need a
double-illuminated surface for the photons to hit after going through the
prism.  Again, I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, and I
haven't tried what I am suggesting.
