Abstract
A holographic mirrorfor re-directing an optical signal that includes a basehaving an outer surface, and a plurality of discrete nano-structuresformed into the outer surface of the base. Each nano-structure has an out-of-plane dimensionthat is within an order of magnitude of one or both in-plane dimensions. The plurality of nano-structures are configured in a repeating pattern with a predetermined spacingbetween nano-structures for re-directing an optical signal.
