ABSTRACT:
A light beam scanner comprises a light source providing a beam of light and a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) scanning mirror that reflects the beam of light through a light-transmissive window. A light detector receives the light that is reflected off a target and that passes back through the light-transmissive window. The MEMS scanning mirror oscillates to provide a scan pattern to the beam of light. The MEMS scanning mirror comprises a resonate transducer in order to oscillate the reflective surface to provide a desired scan pattern.
