Optomechanical Scanning Applications, Techniques, and Devices
Jean I. Montagu, Herman DeWeerd · SPIE eBooks · 1993
The field of scanning is extremely broad. Any scanning system is a complex arrangement of optical, mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems. This chapter is limited to scanning techniques that apply to reasonably fast and accurate systems as they are encountered in infrared applications. This chapter focuses on the subsystem that specifically provides the scanning capability. It does not cover the pre- or post-scanning optics nor the associated detectors, electronics, controls, logics, or software.
