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 25):
The system of  claim 24 , wherein a buckling voltage simultaneously applied to the plurality of electrodes causes a length of the piezo tube along a longitudinal tube axis to change, and wherein different whirling voltages applied individually to the plurality of electrodes causes the distal tube end to deflect laterally in a spiral configuration.
