Scan multiplier unit for ultrafast laser scanning beyond the inertia limit
Sheng Xiao, Ian G. Davison, Jérôme Mertz
Abstract
A passive add-on greatly multiplies the sweep rate of any mechanical scanner while also enhancing throughput, enabling a single linear scanner to produce ultrafast 1D or 2D laser scans for general applications.
