<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a beam steering system which deflects an incident beam by a large angle, for example, about ±50°. <P>SOLUTION: The beam steering system directs an optical energy beam to a lattice selected from first lattices in one input direction selected from multiple input directions. The selected first lattice is so selected as to provide one suitable output direction therefrom which is practically the same as an input direction of multiple input directions against a selected second lattice, thereby providing a selected set of beam output directions. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
