Patent ID: 7360893

Claim:
A system for active wavefront shaping, said system comprising an optical phase shifting device for operating on input light having at least two wavelengths (λ 1 , λ 2 ), said input light forming at least one beam, with each beam having a plurality of contiguous sub-beams, said sub-beams establishing a λ 1 wavefront and a λ 2 wavefront, said device having at least one array of elements, with each element being independently adjustable to selectively alter the optical pathlength of a respective sub-beam to sequentially effectuate a first wavefront reshaping of said λ 1 wavelength light and a second wavefront reshaping of said λ 2 wavelength light, with said first reshaping being different from said second reshaping, and wherein said device is configured to place the λ 1 wavelength light and λ 2 wavelength light on a common beam path.
