Abstract:
The combination of liquid crystal cells with polarizing cube beam splitters has been used to direct a beam of light to multiple directions. The polarization at each beam splitter is controlled by applying a signal to a corresponding liquid crystal cell. Ten cascaded stages have deflected a HeNe laser beam to 1024 digitally selectable angles.
