Abstract:
An imaging laser range finder including an objective lens having an optical axis, an object side, and an image side, a controllable pixelated light modulator disposed along the optical axis on the image side of the lens, and a detector disposed optically downstream from the pixelated light modulator on the image side of the lens. The controllable pixelated light modulator is advantageously a MEMS-based system such as a digital mirror device (DMD). An increased field of view may be obtained by incorporating a pair of opposing surface reflectors between an imaging lens and the controllable pixelated light modulator. Associated methods are disclosed.

Claim (Index 15):
The optical scanning method of  claim 14 , further comprising illuminating the one or more points in the object side of the objective lens with light so as to cause light to be emitted from those points and received at the single point on the image side of the objective lens.
