Abstract

An apparatus and method is described for locating light sources using holographic techniques. The apparatus includes a plurality of switchable holographic elements (SHOEs) (302), a detector (304), and a processing circuit (306) coupled to the holographic elements and detectors. The processing circuit activates one of the SHOEs thereby causing the SHOE to diffract any light incident on the SHOE within its field of view onto the detector. The detector is two-dimensional array that outputs a signal corresponding to the location at which light is incident on the detector. Utilizing the location at which the light is incident on the detector and the predetermined ray deviation characteristics of the SHOE, the processing circuit can calculate a bearing to the light source. The processing circuit may activate each of the plurality of SHOEs in a predetermined sequence to check for light sources in a large angular field of view.
