Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices for diffractive waveplate lens and mirror systems allowing electronically focusing light at different focal planes. The system can be incorporated into a variety of optical schemes for providing electrical control of transmission. In another embodiment, the system comprises diffractive waveplates of different functionality to provide a system for controlling not only focusing but other propagation properties of light including direction, phase profile, and intensity distribution.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical system comprising:\n a light source; a flat mirror having a quarter wave plate deposited on the flat mirror; one or more diffractive waveplates with switchable optical power for receiving the light from the light source, said one or more diffractive wave plates are selected from a group consisting of cylindrical diffractive waveplate lenses, cycloidal diffractive waveplates, axial diffractive waveplates, axicon diffractive waveplates, beam shaping diffractive waveplates, and arrays of diffractive waveplates; and a switching device for selectively switching the optical power of said diffractive waveplates to provide an electrically controlled diffraction property in reflected light; a flat mirror to provide an electrically controlled diffraction property in reflected light; and at least one quarter waveplate deposited on the flat mirror.
