1. An electrically controlled optical system for controlling a focal length of an optical system in a light path comprising:
a switchable wave plate having two or more states, the switchable wave plate aligned to receive light input to the light path; electrical means for controlling the state of the switchable wave plate; a half-silvered mirror aligned to receive light from the switchable wave plate; at least one refractive element downstream from the half-silvered mirror; a polarization dependent mirror aligned to receive light from the at least one refractive element; and one or more optical elements in the light path. |
