ABSTRACT:
A system and method utilize an optical element that receives an electrical field, which changes an index of refraction in at least one direction within the optical element. The change in index of refraction imparts a change to a beam of radiation passing through the optical element. A material used to form the optical element exhibits characteristics, such that wavelengths of the beam of radiation above about 155 nanometers are transmitted through the optical element with little or not absorption or attenuation.
