Laser MEMS projection system with single-axis and dual axis beam deflectors
Abstract:
An apparatus, comprising, a scan module having one or more laser sources that generate one or more initial laser beams and two or more beam deflectors that deflect the one or more initial laser beams. A beam optic is configured to substantially collimate the one or more initial laser beams to produce one or more collimated laser beams. One or more beam deflector controllers are configured to control an angle of beam deflection from each beam deflector. Relay optics between the two or more beam deflectors are configured to image each sequential beam deflector in an optical chain onto the subsequent beam deflector in such a manner that the beam deflecting from a last beam deflector in the optical chain contains a combination or superposition of all the beam deflections of the beam deflectors in the sequence, and maintains a beam divergence of the one or more collimated beams. A first beam deflector of the two or more beam deflectors is configured to scan about a single axis and a second beam deflector of the two or more beam deflectors is configured to scan in a quasi-static mode about two orthogonal axes.
