ABSTRACT:
A low mass inertia scanning system is used in conjunction with a servo control system to make high frequency changes in beam direction. The scanning system is placed behind a beam expansion optical system, which reduces the mass-inertia and increases its directional accuracy. When used in the reverse direction, with beam reduction, it can be used to increase the directional movement. A beam scanning system, refractive or reflective, diverts the ray direction from or toward the primary optical axis. A beam expander, a telescope in reverse, projects the beam, for instance, to a moving target. Alternately if the source-director-telescope is moving, it can keep the beam on a stationary or moving target. The beam direction or image is maintained in the same position, irrespective of source-director-telescope or target movement, by means of a sensing device and a servo system which appropriately adjusts the position of the scanning system (director) to accommodate such position change.
