Abstract: Method and apparatus for spatially stabilizing a projected beam of light, such as laser light. The beam is expanded prior to projection and then reduced and error corrected after reception.

Abstract: A high-speed, permanent recording, multicolor projection display system in which the beam of a pulsed Argon laser is selectively deflected and focused to burn the desired images in a metalized film record medium which is back-illuminated for projecting the recorded images as they are produced. A channel selector polarizes the laser beam in either of two planes; each polarized channel is then selectively deflected and is focused through a dichroic/polarizer cube that transmits one channel and reflects the other channel to the metalized films in the focal planes where images are formed by the thermal action. Simultaneously with the recording action, the images are projected by the use of white light that is split into two colored light beams by a second dichroic cube and is reflected to backlight the images in each of the metalized films.
