Abstract:
Described herein are embodiments of fiber scanning systems and methods of scanning optical fibers. The disclosed systems and methods advantageously provide an improvement to the scanning range, the oscillation amplitude, and/or the maximum pointing angle for an optical fiber in a fiber scanning system by inducing a buckling of a portion of the optical fiber.

Claim (Index 29):
The method of  claim 26 , wherein whirling of the optical fiber causes the distal fiber end to deflect a first predetermined amount and wherein buckling of the optical fiber causes deflection of the distal fiber end by a second predetermined amount that is superimposed on the first predetermined amount.
