MUMBAI, India, Nov. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517067483 A) filed by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Lod, Israel, on July 15, for 'optical steering for illumination of a target.'

Inventor(s) include Shimshi, Liran; and Pasmanik, Guerman.

The application for the patent was published on Nov. 14, under issue no. 46/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system including: an optical steering module configured to receive reflected light, which reflected light includes a portion of a probe light beam reflected from an object, the reflected light including light of a first polarization type, which optical steering module including; a first optical path allowing passage of light of the first polarization type; a second optical path, including an optical steering element, allowing passage of light of a second polarization type; an optical shot generation module optically connected to the optical steering module to receive light from the first optical path and including: a mirror configured to reverse an orientation of light received from the optical steering module, returning the light towards the optical steering module; and a polarization changing element configured to change light of the first polarization type to light of the second polarization type, light returning from the optical shot generation module to the optical steering module passing through the second optical path of the optical steering module; a processor configured to generate control signals for control of the optical steering element, based on a predicted position of the object, to steer light emitted from the second optical path towards the object."

The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 11, 2023, under International application No.PCT/IL2023/051259.
