Abstract: The apparatus includes a light source unit and a volume diffractive element diffracting beams emitted from the light sources unit so that spots of the beams can be formed at different positions from each other in a propagating direction of the beams diffracted by the volume diffractive element to scan the beams in a first direction.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method of displaying a three-dimensional image. The apparatus includes a light source unit and a volume diffractive element diffracting beams emitted from the light sources unit so that spots of the beams can be formed at different positions from each other in a propagating direction of the beams diffracted by the volume diffractive element to scan the beams in a first direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating an independent coherent beam array from a single light source, in which individual coherent beams are selectively activated. The independent coherent beam array generating apparatus, which ensures high-efficient independent coherent beams from a single light source, are implemented by using a phase grating and a spacial light modulator. The number of multiple beams to be used as a light source for high-density recording and reading can be adjusted by varying the design of the phase grating. Regardless of the number of light sources required in various applications, once the beam array generating apparatus is adopted to the applications, the desired function of the applications can be implemented at low cost.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a coherent beam array from a single light source using independently switchable 45-degree mirrors. In the independent coherent beam array generating apparatus, multiple coherent beams can be generated from a single light source by selectively rotating micro mirrors of two mirror arrays.
