It consists of a stack of liquid crystal blazed gratings where each layer can deflect incident light with very high efficiency into one of two different directions depending on the driving condition Pour steering angles (10.8 degrees, 7.2 degrees, 3.6 degrees, 0 degrees) with about 70% diffraction efficiency are demonstrated within 15V. The device's working principle, design considerations, fabrication process, and characterization results are described.beam steeringliquid crystal devicesdiffractive opticstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
