An integrated frequency conversion and scanner for converting the frequency of an input light beam and deflecting the converted light beam through an electronically controlled angle is disclosed. This structure includes an electrooptic crystal including a region formed for converting the frequency of the input light to a higher frequency; and a field changing structure associated with selected regions of the crystal arranged so that an electric field is created at least partially within the crystal to change its refractive index to thereby deflect the converted light beam through an electronically controlled angle.

A device that includes a projection element positioned between first and second beam scanners configured in series and a two-dimensional display plane. An apparatus for controlling the first and second beam scanners is provided so that the angle of incidence and the point of incidence of a beam output from the series connected beam scanners onto the projection element are controlled. In that manner, each point on the projection element can be mapped to a line in the display plane. A method of mapping a point in the projection element to a line in the display plane is also disclosed.

A system and method for providing dynamic channel equalization in V2V and V2I communications systems. The method includes separating the channel bandwidth of a message into a plurality of subcarriers having different subcarrier frequencies, where the subcarriers include data subcarriers and pilot subcarriers. The method demodulates the message in the receiver to extract symbols from the message and determines channel estimation frequency responses using a least-squares estimation process and the extracted symbols for the pilot subcarriers. The channel estimation frequency responses of either the pilot subcarriers, the pilot subcarriers and some data subcarriers, or the pilot subcarriers and all data subcarriers are used to generate updated channel estimation frequency responses, and a new channel estimation frequency response is generated for each extracted signal using a previous channel estimation frequency response and the updated channel estimation frequency response. The extracted symbols are equalized using the new channel estimation frequency response.

摘要:
An optical frequency shifter that uses mode coupling of magnetostatic waves with light having frequency .omega..sub.o from a laser. A controllable external magnetic biasing field and a controlled microwave source are used to independently specify the frequency .omega..sub.q and wavenumber K.sub.q of the magnetostatic wave. As a result, the mode coupling can be maintained over a range of frequencies .omega..sub.q so a shifted beam of light .omega..sub.o .+-..omega..sub.q can be produced.
