Scanning Mirror System with Attached Coil

Abstract:

A light detection and ranging system includes synchronously scanning transmit and receive mirrors that scan a pulsed fanned laser beam in two dimensions. Imaging optics image a receive aperture onto an arrayed receiver that includes a plurality of light sensitive devices. Scanning mirror assemblies include stationary permanent magnets and MEMS devices with attached mirrors and conductive coils.
