Abstract
A lamp with a steerable beam, suitable for use as a vehicle headlight, includes a phosphor converter that emits white light from a location impinged by light from a laser, and at least one projection lens for transmitting the white light emitted from the phosphor converter in as a beam in a direction dependent on the location of emission from the phosphor converter. There is at least one high intensity laser; and at least one multi-stage, bi-axial liquid crystal polarization grating for directing laser light from the at least one high intensity laser to a selectable location on the phosphor converter to change the direction of the beam emitted from the light.
