  • Device and method for the optical scanning of media, objects, or areas
    Patent number: 7483192
    Abstract: A device for optically scanning media or objects includes a mirror which deflects light beams and is coupled to a drive unit. The deflection mirror can be rotated with a mirror normal being tilted relative to the axis of rotation. An area can be scanned quickly at a large aperture such that the device is particularly suitable for use in optical remote sensing systems or remote locating systems, such as for gases, especially hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.
