  • Acousto-optic scanning system with fast non-linear scan
    Patent number: 6587255
    Abstract: An acousto-optic scanning system, which relies on two counter propagating acoustic waves with the same frequency modulation. This scheme completely suppresses the linear frequency chirp, and thus enables the generation of fast non-linear scans and non-constant linear scans. By changing the phase between the modulating signals, this scheme also provides fast longitudinal scans of the focal point.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 1, 2003
    Assignee: Yeda Research and Development Co.LTD
