Abstract:
A system for deflecting an energy beam comprising:a first reflective surface for directing an incident beam; a first galvanometer coupled to said first reflective surface for rotating said first reflective surface about a first axis; a collimating lens positioned ahead of the first reflective surface for directing the incident beam to the first reflective surface; a second reflective surface for directing said incident beam after directed by said first reflective surface; a second galvanometer coupled to said second reflective surface for rotating said second reflective surface about a second axis, said second galvanometer positioned remote from said first galvanometer; and a scan lens positioned between said first and second reflective surfaces so that said incident beam passes through said scan lens from said first reflective surface to said second reflective surface, wherein said incident beam comprises combined red, green and blue laser beams, and wherein rotors of said first and second galvanometers are supported on flexures or springs.
