ABSTRACT:
A device for bending a laser beam is provided. The device includes a beam deflection device that produces the beam having a selected number of addressable points. A soliton forming mechanism is positioned at the output of the beam deflection device so it receives the beam and increases the number of addressable points by a certain magnitude.
