The present invention provides a spatial flexure comprising: a base section; an end section; and an intermediate laterally contracting and expanding section connecting the base and end sections, whereby when the intermediate section laterally expands or contracts, the end section pivots downwardly or upwardly. The present invention further provides a spatial flexure scanner comprising: a base section; a scanning beam reflective section; an intermediate laterally contracting and expanding section connecting the base and reflective sections; an actuator associated with the base section; a scanning beam reflective mirror connected to the reflective section; means connecting the actuator and the reflective member for causing lateral contraction or expansion of the intermediate section in response to the actuator, whereby when the intermediate section laterally expands or contracts, the reflective section pivots downwardly or upwardly.

The present invention provides a scanner comprising: a reflector component; means supporting the reflector component for pivoting with respect to the MCR to provide a scan which is stationary with respect to the OCR; means for enabling the support means to provide controlled pivoting of the reflector component; a magnet component which causes pivoting of the reflector component when actuated; and means for actuating the magnet component to thereby cause pivoting of the reflector component. Also provided is a scanner comprising a reflective prism for providing a circularized scanning beam, a prism carrier and magnet suspension assembly, and flexure means connected to the assembly to enable the prism to controllably pivot: (1) with respect to the MCR axis to provide a scan which is stationary with respect to the OCR; and (2) with respect to a pitch axis orthogonal to the MCR to provide an orthogonal scan.

A display system for acting on light entering the system includes a reflective ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator and a polarizer arrangement. The polarizer arrangement includes a polarizer for polarizing the light entering the system and directing the polarized light into the spatial light modulator along an optical path having an optical path axis. The reflective spatial light modulator acts on the polarized light to produce an optical output that is directed from the spatial light modulator back into the polarizing arrangement along substantially the same optical path axis that the polarized light is directed into the spatial light modulator. The polarizing arrangement also includes an analyzer configured to receive and analyze the optical output of the spatial light modulator and to direct the analyzed optical output out of the system. A compensator is positioned in the optical path between the polarizer of the polarizing arrangement and the spatial light modulator and in the optical path between the spatial light modulator and the analyzer. The compensator includes a layer of ferroelectric liquid crystal light modulating medium switchable between a first compensator state and a second compensator state.

Non-Fourier Transform (FT) plane angular filters and their use in holographic storage systems or devices for angular filtering of a data beam prior to recording holographic data or for angular filtering of a recovered beam prior to detecting the recovered holographic data. The non-FT plane filters may be a macrotube array, an etalon, a multi-layer thin film interference coating on a curved surface, a lenslet array device, a waveguide-like array, or a combination thereof. Also provided are methods for carrying out angular filtering using such filters for data storage and/or data recovery.

An imaging lens arrangement and method have been described for use with an imaging projector system including a display. A plurality of no more than four lenses can be arranged to receive an object image that emits from the display to propagate through the plurality of lenses to produce a high-resolution projected image from the object image. The imaging projector system has compact configuration, low height profile and provides high performance.
