1. Optical spot displacement apparatus comprising:
- a face, said face being divided into a plurality of columns;
each column of said plurality including a predetermined number of prisms, said predetermined number of prisms of a same column configured within the corresponding column to displace at least one incident light beam a common predetermined distance from incidence, and said predetermined number of prisms of different columns configured within each corresponding column to displace said at least one incident light beam a different predetermined distance from incidence.

13. Optical spot displacement apparatus comprising:
-
a first plane and a second plane;
a mirror disposed at said first plane, said mirror including an entrance region and an exit region;
a series of spherical mirrors disposed along a path at said second plane;
wherein at least one light beam incident the entrance region will enter and travel along said path by reflections between the spherical mirrors of said second plane and mirror of said first plane until said at least one light beam reaches the exit region where it exits rendering the at least one light beam displaced by a predetermined distance commensurate with a distance between the entrance and exit regions of said mirror. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. Optical waveguide based spot displacement apparatus comprising:
-
a substrate of a first refractive index;
a core channel of a second refractive index disposed within said substrate, said second refractive index being greater than the first refractive index, said core channel including an entrance region and an exit region spaced apart a predetermined distance;
a first optical element disposed at said entrance region for coupling at least one incident light beam into said core channel at a first predetermined angle to cause said at least one incident light beam to travel through said core channel; and
a second optical element disposed at said exit region for coupling said at least one traveling light beam from said core channel at a second predetermined angle to cause said at least one traveling light beam to exit from said core channel. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. Optical spot displacement apparatus comprising:
-
a face, said face being divided into a plurality of columns;
each column of said plurality including a predetermined number of waveguide based light beam displacement sections, said predetermined number of waveguide based light beam displacement sections of a same column configured within the corresponding column to displace at least one incident light beam a common predetermined distance from incidence, and said predetermined number of waveguide based light beam displacement sections of different columns configured within each corresponding column to displace said at least one incident light beam a different predetermined distance from incidence. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
