Abstract
We demonstrate a lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate ceramic-ba sed electro-optic beam steering device that has a 3 mm x 3 mm working area. A series of resistors were made by evaporation of chromium onto the substrate to produce and control the required voltage distribution among the electrodes. A steering angle of 0.04 degrees was obtained w ith an applied voltage of 700 V. Design considerations, computer simul ations, and experimental results are presented.
