<p>An apparatus and method for electro-optically controlling the path of a laser beam or other electromagnetic beam in a suitable spectrum which operates entirely in a solid state. Crystalline carbon-60 is manufactured in a gaseous environment to produce carbon-60 balls (10), each capturing a polarized molecule or ion (20) susceptible to application of an electric field (40). Carbon-60 balls are suspended in a matrix of transparent gel, cured polymer, or held by their own solid, crystalline structure. Electrodes (34, 36) for controlling electric fields imposed upon the head, preferably shaped as a semispherical object, may be energized by alternating voltage to provide an alternating field. The ions or polarized molecules may oscillate within the carbon-60 "cages" in any directions as dictated by multiple, phased, field electrodes. A virtual plane of ions creates a refractive environment that can selectively aim an incoming beam under the influence of the electrical fields.</p> |
