Abstract
A two-layer optical beam steering device, system, method of utilization and method of fabrication are disclosed. The solid-state device enables beam steering in two dimensions with dramatically fewer control lines than prior devices. This renders the device more technically realizable, easier to control, and more affordable to manufacture. Because less data need be transferred to the device, the device is also able to operate at faster speeds.
