ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for deflecting a laser beam includes a deflecting mirror disposed in a holder, a lever, a rotatable coupler, and a drive member. The mirror is pivotable about a first pivot axis lying on a surface of the mirror, and the holder is rotatable about a second pivot axis oriented substantially perpendicular to the first pivot axis to cause the mirror to rotate about the second pivot axis. The lever is coupled to the mirror along a first lever axis parallel to and separated from the first pivot axis. The rotatable coupler is coupled to the lever along a second lever axis parallel to and separated from the first pivot axis, the coupler is rotatable about the second pivot axis, and the rotatable coupler and the holder are longitudinally translatable relative to each other along the second pivot axis. The drive member is coupled to the holder, and the drive member is longitudinally translatable along the second pivot axis to cause the mirror to rotate about the first pivot axis.
