Abstract:
1. A reconfigurable system for diffracting one or more light beams along non-equivalent pathlengths and generating a time delay corrected light beam, comprising: one or more acousto-optic deflector means being tunable and configured to focus each one of one or more said light beams in a predetermined manner and each of one or more said acousto-optical deflector means having characteristics configurable to create wave patterns on a surface of at least one of one or more said acousto-optic deflectors, wherein the patterns shall diffract one or more said light beams to predetermined angles, an optical circulator means for sending one or more of said light beams to one or more of said acousto-optic deflector means, a reflective means for reflecting one or more of one or more said light beams received from one or more of said acousto-optic deflector means, and beam steering optics means for directing said reflected light beams, wherein a time delay is determined in relation to said predetermined angles and is related to said predetermined angles of one or more said light beams.
