Abstract:
Fiber bending mechanisms vary beam characteristics by deflecting or bending one or more fibers, by urging portions of one or more fibers toward a fiber shaping surface having a selectable curvature, or by selecting a fiber length that is to be urged toward the fiber shaping surface. In some examples, a fiber is secured to a flexible plate to conform to a variable curvature of the flexible plate. In other examples, a variable length of a fiber is pulled or pushed toward a fiber shaping surface, and the length of the fiber or a curvature of the flexible plate provide modification of fiber beam characteristics.

Claim (Index 24):
The apparatus of  claim 20 , further comprising a connecting member rotatably secured at an axis of rotation and secured to the guide so that rotation of the guide about the axis urges the guide along the fiber shaping surface.
