Abstract: Disclosed herein are various energy conveyance systems that are able to convey energy along different optical paths to non-overlapping regions of a sensor. A system can include an objective optics system that collects and focuses energy, and can further include steering optics that are configured to divert an optical path of at least a portion of the energy that is collected via the objective optics system. The steering optics may cause different portions of energy collected via the objective optics system to be delivered as focused field images to non-overlapping or similar sections of a sensor.

Abstract: A two-axis, optical mount provides two flexural elements monolithically and homogeneously formed of a single material with, and interconnecting, three rigid segments. Between each pair of rigid segments, beginning with the first and second, a set of extensions is formed to have a cross section that permits simple, easy, independent adjustment therebetween. Likewise, a flexural element exists between the second and third rigid elements. Meanwhile, the rigid elements have section moduli sufficiently great as to be orders of magnitude larger than the flexural stiffness or section modulus of the flexural elements, thus providing flexures that operate in the elastic mode and introduce no joint type accuracy errors in adjustment.
