According to the patent application an electrically conductive substrate supports a multi-mode optical waveguide of electro-optic material which transmits polarized light energy along a determinable path. The electro-optic material varies in electrical resistivity as a function of its thickness, with top and bottom electrodes disposed to develop an electric field across the thickness of the electro-optic material in response to an applied electrical potential. A correlative variation in refractive index is thus caused across the thickness of the electro-optic material commensurate with its variation in electrical resistivity. The plane wave of light energy traveling along the light path of the optical waveguide is consequently changed in orientation as a function of the applied electrical potential producing a concomitant deflection of the emergent light energy.
