Abstract

Electrooptical light gating methods and apparatus divide pluralities of light gates into distinct groups, each extending along a light gate structure. The light gates are staggered in at least one of these groups relative to light gates in at least another of the groups. At least two of the groups may be arranged on the same light gate structure, and light gates in one of these two groups are then staggered relative to light gates in the other of the two groups on the same light gate structure. On the other hand, at least two of the groups may be arranged on at least two different light gate structures, and light gates on one of the two light gate structures are then staggered relative to light gates on the other of such two light gate structures.
