An example system includes a bulk steering crystal apparatus having a first lens face and a second concave face. The example bulk steering crystal apparatus further includes a number of steering portions interposed between the first lens face and the second concave face, where each of the steering portions includes a bulk substrate portion including an electro-optical material and a corresponding high-side electrode electrically coupled to the corresponding one of the number of steering portions.

System, method and apparatus for non-mechanical optical and photonic beam steering

An example system for steering an electromagnetic (EM) beam includes a first continuous steering layer configured to steer an incident beam from an EM source to a first selected angle, and incident on a second continuous steering layer, and the second continuous steering layer configured to further steer the incident beam to a target steering angle value.

System, method, and apparatus to steer an electromagnetic beam utilizing staged steering

An example system includes a first steering lens positioned between an EM source and a second steering lens, and the second steering lens positioned between the first steering lens and an emission lens. The example system includes the first and second steering lenses having a combined first effective focal length, and where the emission lens is a positive lens have a second focal length. The example system includes the first effective focal length being shorter than the second focal length. The example system includes a first steering actuator that move the first steering lens along a first movement course, and a second steering actuator that moves the second steering lens along a second movement course.

Decentered lens light beam steering

An example system includes a first steering layer interposed between an electromagnetic (EM) source and an emission lens. The first steering layer includes a triplet lens having a Plano-convex lens, a Plano-concave lens, and an electro-optical (EO) crystal positioned between the lenses. The EO crystal includes transparent electrodes on each side, coupled to the respective lenslet and/or the EO crystal. The system includes the EM source providing an incident EM beam on the first steering layer, and the emission lens emitting a steered EM beam to a target location.
