Abstract

This paper discusses methods of achieving the optimum in high resolution galvanometric scanning. When scanning systems have problems of repeatability, jitter, and wobble, the difficulties are often caused by inadequate mirror design, bonding, and/or alignment and the dynamic forces engendered by the driving torque. These issues are examined, and integral metal mirror mounts are compared with the conventional composite mirrors bonded to metal mounts. Galvanometer bearing suspension and drive electronics and how they relate to optimal high resolution are also addressed.
