Has anyone considered "phased array" optics?


Yes. Phased array optics is a thing.

You can build lens from dielectric material with a refractive index > 1, or metal lens from metal plates if you need refractive index < 1.

You can also build a lens from beam-forming network. Rotman lens is part of many AESA radar elements.
