Claims15
A device to deflect a laser beam, comprising:
- an optical element having a plurality of steps each with a predetermined height, wherein the step height corresponds to a frequency response;
- and
- one or more crystals or transducers on the steps, wherein the device receives an electrical input to deflect the laser at two or more frequencies and generates a sound field in the optical element to deflect a laser beam based on two or more frequencies received by a tuning element with a 1:1 balun, a 4:1 transformer, a capacitor, and an inductor.
A device to deflect a laser beam, comprising:
- an optical element having a plurality of steps each with a predetermined height, wherein the step height corresponds to a frequency response;
- one or more crystals or transducers on the steps, wherein the device receives an electrical input to deflect the laser at two or more frequencies and generates a sound field in the optical element to deflect a laser beam based on two or more frequencies, wherein the optical element comprises a slanted end, wherein the slanted end comprises a compound angle to move reflected sound field out of a laser beam working range, wherein the slanted end forms a 30 degree angle measured from a long side of the optical element to a short side of the optical element, and wherein a surface of the slanted end comprises a 2 degree slope.
