Invented by Palle R Jensen
US Pat. no. 5,245,464
Background:
Many applications, such as barcode reading, require that a laserbeam is scanned in 2 dimensions to cover an area.
This is normally obtained using 2 separate systems for X- and Y-deflection.
This invention describes a method which can be used to deflect the laserbeam in 2 dimensions with only one mirror!
