ABSTRACT:
A magnet is integrally formed with a mirror surface for reflecting off a laser beam. A torsion spring holds the magnet thereon. The torsion spring is made of a shape-memory alloy. A coil generates an alternating magnetic field so as to oscillate the magnet about the torsion spring. The oscillating magnet scans the light beam.
