Abstract
Opto-mechanical assemblies, systems, devices and methods for pointing laser and other optical beam, and for directing the field of view of sensors are disclosed. The assemblies include means for rotating a cycloidal diffractive waveplate optic around a predetermined axis, and a reflective or transmissive optic that turns a diffracted optical beam onto a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the cycloidal diffractive waveplate, enabling a wide field of regard.
