TLDR
In a multifaceted mirror scanner, a mirror attached to a carrier that is precisely positioned receives energy from a collimated beam of light and reflects this energy toward a predetermined target point.
Abstract
In a multifaceted mirror scanner, a mirror attached to a carrier that is precisely positioned receives energy from a collimated beam of light and reflects this energy toward a predetermined target point. The carrier is then deformed, such as by making a dimple near an edge where the mirror should be raised slightly, to deflect the beam so that the reflected image is precisely oriented on the target point.

Real-time ultra-high resolution image projection display using laser-addressed liquid crystal light valve

TL;DR: In this article, a high intensity projection light beam is reflected from the liquid crystal via a polarizing biprism and is modulated by the bi-refringent liquid crystal so that a corresponding image is displayed on the screen.

Adaptive resonant positioner having random access capability

TL;DR: In this paper, a positioning system including a sensor, a drive control and an actuator is presented, where the sensor senses a mirror 64 position and provides actual position signals to drive controller 54, which responsively adapts and applies drive currents to actuator 56.

Facet angle corrector for multi-faceted optical scanner

Peter W. Ford
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-faceted rotating optical scanning system with facet angle corrector is proposed for reducing banding in images produced therewith, where the corrector consists of a corrector plate supporting a plurality of transparent discs, each one being positioned in advance of a different facet of a scanner.
