Abstract:

The waveguide optical beam deflector of the present invention uses the properties of a variable resistivity with an electrooptic crystal to produce beam deflection by variation in the electro-optic effect produced within the waveguide region in response to known or determinable magnitude variations in the electrical potential of an applied signal source.
