Patent ID: 11953801
Assignee: HRL LABORATORIES, LLC
Field: Optics (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 2:
3. The solid state optical beam steering device of claim 1:
wherein when a voltage gradient is applied along the second face of the electro optic material, a gradient in the index of refraction steers light entering the first face at a first angle to exit from the second face at a second angle, the solid state optical beam steering device operating in a transmission mode; or
wherein the solid state optical beam steering device further comprises a mirror on the first face of the solid state body of electro optic material;
wherein when a voltage gradient is applied along the second face of the electro optic material, a gradient in the index of refraction steers light entering the second face at a first angle to be reflected by the mirror and to exit from the second face at second angle, the solid state optical beam steering device operating in a reflection mode.
