An optical transmission device includes a waveguide including a transparent medium having mutually-parallel first and second surfaces arranged so that light propagates within the waveguide by internal reflection between the first and second surfaces. At least one light source is configured to inject coherent light into the waveguide. A first array of diffractive structures is applied to the waveguide and configured to couple respective beams of the coherent light out through the first surface of the waveguide. The device includes a second array of tunable optical phase modulators, which are overlaid on respective ones of the diffractive structures in the first array and are configured to apply different respective phase shifts to the respective beams, thereby modulating a far-field light pattern formed by interference between the beams.
