Abstract
An array of two or more tunable electro-optical reflecting elements where the phase response of one to more elements may be adjusted by a variety of approaches including, but not limited to a liquid crystal superstrate, schottky contact(s), ultra-violet radiation pulses, and illumination of photoconductive substances. Methods and apparatus for direct and/or adaptive control of phase response via the above approaches are also discussed.
