Abstract:
1. An optical scanning system comprising: a resonant oscillating device having a first magnetic field and a mirrored surface; a first light source for directing a first beam of light to the mirrored surface of the resonant oscillating device to provide a first reflected scan beam; a second light source for directing a second beam of light to the mirrored surface of the resonant oscillating device to provide a second reflected scan beam, the second reflected scan beam being offset a first distance from the first reflected scan beam; and a second magnetic field for interacting with the first magnetic field to provide torque to the resonant oscillating device for scanning the first and second reflected scan beams across a surface to provide first and second scan lines on the surface substantially simultaneously as the resonant oscillating device oscillates under the influence of the first and second magnetic fields.
