ABSTRACT:
An adaptive system is shown for electronically correcting for errors in a laser scanner. A start-of-scan signal is provided by a photodetector having a special mask with a window over the front of the photodetector. The start-of-scan signal from the photodetector eliminates the facet-to-facet errors. The special mask gives a stepped amplitude signal output from the photodetector with the maximum amplitude of the signal providing amplitude modulation to correct the intensity of the laser beam, and the lower amplitude of the stepped amplitude signal providing frequency modulation to correct the facet-to-axis error. By the use of the delays, counters, and memory, the intensity and facet-to-axis errors are continuously being corrected with each revolution of the spinner.
