ABSTRACT:
A first piezoelectric actuator is located on a first support of a mirror. The first support is elongated having a first portion to one edge of the mirror and a second portion to an opposite edge of the mirror. The actuator drives mirror movement about a first axis of rotation which is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the first support. A second piezoelectric actuator is located on a second support of the mirror. The second support is elongated having a first portion to one edge of the mirror and a second portion to an opposite edge of the mirror. The second support is orthogonal to the first support. The second actuator drives mirror movement about a second axis of rotation which is orthogonal to the first axis of rotation and to a longitudinal axis of the second support.
