Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2256937A] The scanner is formed by a rotating annular mirror having a surface which is flat radially and varies in height circumferentially. Preferably the variation is parabolic, providing a line scan with low distribution and high efficiency. For small scan angles a cylindrical variation could be used. <IMAGE>
