Abstract

Opto-mechanical design principle and techniques are investigated for the development of double-prism scan devices at rotating, tilting or composite motion mode. Design schemes based on the most suitable double-prism configuration are proposed for any scan device, where different drive mechanisms are applied. Particularly, the rotating double-prism scan device driven by worm and gear mechanism is implemented to verify beam scan performance. The tilting double-prism scan device driven by cam-based mechanism is presented to transfer the nonlinear problem to cam profile design. As for composite motion double-prism scan device, the four-axis joint control strategy is used to enhance the adaptability to wide-range, high-precision and multi-scale beam scanning.
