Disclosed embodiments include an energy device having an array of waveguideelementsconfigured to direct energy along a plurality of energy propagation pathsthrough the device, andan energy encoding element operable to limit propagation of energy along theplurality of paths.Energy uninhibited propagation paths may extend through first and secondregions of energylocations, the first and seconds regions being overlapping and offsetting, andthe energy encodingelement may limit propagation of energy through each energy location in thefirst and secondregions to one uninhibited energy propagation path. In an embodiment, theenergy encodingelement may limit propagation along uninhibited propagation paths through thefirst region at afirst moment in time, and through the second region at a second moment intime. An energysystem comprising an energy device subsystem and an energy combiner may beconfigured tosuperimpose energy from the energy locations.
