An optical waveguide device comprises at least one Y-junction integrated on a planar substrate. The junction comprises a first (1), a second (3) and a third (4) optical waveguide extending on the said substrate, and a transition portion (2), in which the second and third waveguides branch from the first waveguide, comprising a truncation (5) of predetermined width. At the position of the truncation, the width of the first waveguide is less than the sum of widths of the second waveguide, the third waveguide and the truncation. The first optical waveguide extends into the transition portion up to the bifurcation with its width essentially constant.

Wavefront correction apparatus for correcting a stepped wavefront output produced by certain angles of scan and by certain positions of scan in scanning microlens arrays includes anamorphic transfer optics with diffractive corrections. The transfer optics form the outputs of all of the unit cell trains of the microlens arrays into a unique, separate, linear image at each position of scan of the scanning array. A stepped wavefront corrector is positioned in the path of each linear image, and selected thicknesses of the material in the stepped wavefront corrector are effective to vary the times of optical passage through the stepped wavefront corrector in amounts to restore the wavefront to a continuous, unstepped form at the outlet of the plate.

A large aperture microlens array assembly has at least two arrays of microlenses with individual unit cell trains optically interconnecting individual microlenses in one array with related individual microlenses in another array. In each unit cell train the light entering an entrance pupil of a microlens in one array is transmitted through the exit surface of a related microlens of the other array to provide a collimated output through the exit. One array may be moved with respect to the other array for scanning a field of regard.
