Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9852086A1] The present invention relates to an optical scanner (20) comprising a radiation source (24) for generating a radiation beam, and means (22, 26) for giving the radiation beam a scanning movement in a first direction through an angular range DELTA theta 1 and in a second direction through an angular range DELTA theta 2. The radiation source (24) is, for example, a diode laser and is tunable in wavelength, and the means comprise a rotating reflecting element and a grating.
