ABSTRACT:
An acousto-optic scanner comprising at least two optical sources the outputs of which differ in frequency, a common acousto-optic deflector, a scan lens, and scan correction means. The output of the light sources are directed through the common acousto-optic deflector and the outputs of the common acoustic-optic deflector are directed through the scan correction means which comprises a plurality of optical elements. The effect of the optical elements on optical beams is dependent upon beam characteristics.
