Abstract:
A scanner system comprising:a light source; a micro-optical element; positioned adjacent the light source, the light source and micro-optical element having an initial relative spacing, the micro-optical element disposed such that light emitted from the light source is incident the micro-optical element; a detector configured to provide detection information based at least in part on a location of an object to be scanned relative to the scanner system; a processor configured to receive the detection information from the detector and to calculate actuation information based on the detection information received, the processor further configured to transmit the actuation information; and an actuator configured to receive the actuation information from the processor and to adjust the initial relative spacing of the micro-optical element and the light source based at least in part on the actuation information received.
