    Abstract: Color-scanning grating-based backlighting includes a color scanning protocol to provide different colors of light in different regions of a plate light guide with an intervening dark region. A color-scanning grating-based backlight includes the plate light guide and a diffraction grating configured to diffractively couple out a portion of a guided light beam as a coupled-out light beam directed away from a plate light guide surface at a predetermined principal angular direction. The backlight further includes a multicolor light source configured to provide the different colors of light to the plate light guide as the guided light beam according to the color scanning protocol. Provided light of a first color in a first region is separated from provided light of a second color in a second region one or both by the intervening dark region and by a light-confining wall of the plate light guide.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a liquid crystal grating, a manufacturing method and a drive method thereof, and an optical phased array. In the liquid crystal grating, plurality of first electrodes are formed on a lower substrate with first gaps formed between adjacent first electrodes, second electrodes are further provided above the first gaps with second gaps formed between adjacent second electrodes, and an insulation layer is provided between the first electrodes and the second electrodes. When voltages are applied to the first electrodes and the second electrodes, continuously and smoothly changing electric field is generated inside the liquid crystal grating, and then phases of incident light may be controlled continuously and smoothly, which improves the ability of the liquid crystal grating to modulate light beam.

    Abstract: An acousto-optical filter element (114) is provided which has an acousto-optical crystal (118) having an acoustic signal transmitter (120) for generating acoustic signals in the acousto-optical crystal (118). The acousto-optical crystal (118) is designed to selectively spatially deflect light of a target wavelength from an input light beam (116) entering into the acousto-optical crystal (118), as a function of a high frequency applied to the acoustic signal transmitter (120), and to thereby produce a target light beam (126) having the target wavelength. In addition, the acousto-optical filter element (114) includes a spatial filter element (132) which is located in the target light beam (126) and is designed to selectively suppress the intensity of the target light beam (126) in a plane perpendicular to the propagation direction of the target light beam (126).
