System And Methods For Laser Scattering, Deviation And Manipulation

A system for manipulating two laser beams to form a cone, comprising:

• a first laser source producing a first incident beam comprised of a plurality of rays projecting to a dot;
• a second laser source producing a second incident beam comprised of a plurality of rays projecting to a dot;
• a double-sided lenticular sheet having a first lens side comprising a plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses and a second lens side comprising a plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses opposite the first lens side;
• wherein:
• the first laser source is directed towards the first side of the lenticular sheet so that the first incident beam falls onto one of the plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses at an incident angle such that the majority of the first incident beam rays are reflected forming a first curved plane;
• the second laser source is directed towards the second side of the lenticular sheet so that the second incident beam falls onto an opposite side of the one of the plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses at the same incident angle as the first laser source such that the majority of the second incident beam rays are refracted forming a second curved plane;
• the first and second curved planes together form a cone projected as a circle.

• and
• the second laser source is directed towards the second side of the lenticular sheet so that the second incident beam falls onto an opposite side of the one of the plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses at an incident angle greater than the first incident angle such that the second incident beam rays are refracted and reflected to form a second cone larger than the first cone and coaxial therewith.

A system for diverting a laser beam, comprising:

• a laser source for projecting an incident laser beam;
• a first lenticular sheet having a lens side comprising a plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses and a smooth side opposite the first side;
• and
• a second lenticular sheet having a lens side comprising a plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses and a smooth side opposite the first side;
• wherein:
• the plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses of the first lenticular sheet are offset relative to the plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses of the second lenticular sheet;
• the first and second lenticular sheets are positioned such that the smooth side of the first lenticular sheet faces the smooth side of the second lenticular sheet and the first and second lenticular sheets form a double-sided lenticular sheet;
• and
• the laser source projects the incident laser beam through the first and second lenticular sheets.

A method of making a system for deviating a laser beam, comprising:

• providing a first lenticular sheet having a lens side comprising a plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses and a smooth side opposite the first side;
• providing a second lenticular sheet having a lens side comprising a plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses and a smooth side opposite the first side;
• adhering the smooth side of the first lenticular sheet to the smooth side of the second lenticular sheet to form a double-sided lenticular sheet;
• wherein the plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses of the first lenticular sheet are offset relative to the plurality of parallel longitudinal lenticular lenses of the second lenticular sheet.
