Claim 19:
20. A method of configuring an optical system to output redundant outputs, comprising:
configuring at least one optical device to receive an optical signal;
configuring each of at least one optical transducer to receive the optical signal from the at least one optical device and convert the optical signal to an electrical signal; and
configuring at least one electronic device to receive each electrical signal and output the redundant outputs,
wherein each of the at least one optical device comprises an optical steerer configured to steer the optical signal to each of the at least one optical transducer one at a time, wherein the optical steerer has a mirrored surface, and
wherein the at least one electronic device comprises a read-out-integrated circuit (ROIC) configured to perform redundant signal processing of outputs of each of the at least one optical transducers.
