Abstract
A method of providing laser controlled real-time optics and optic systems for a laser beam or beams utilizing near resonance nonlinear dispersion in a collision dominated gaseous medium. Refractive optical elements may be provided that function as spherical or curved reflectors and refractive lens or prisms for expanding or contracting a laser beam or beams as well as providing gratings for providing partial or total reflection or deflection of a laser beam. The generation of a grating in accordance with the invention permits total deflection of large cross-section and powerful laser beams by the investment of a moderate amount of power. Real-time color holographic displays may also be provided and phase front aberrations caused by a laser amplifier may also be corrected.
