Abstract

An optical antenna assembly including multiple optical antenna elements (102), each of the optical antenna elements are arranged in a regular pattern and carried by a supporting body (202). The regular pattern of the plurality of optical antenna elements is nonuniform. Certain ones of the optical antenna elements are configured to respond to the one or more waves of light.
