  • Publication number: 20240134185
    Abstract: Provided is a laser scanner. The laser scanner includes a laser transmitter configured to output a laser radiated towards an object, a laser receiver configured to receive a laser reflected from the object, and an oscillating mirror of which a mirror surface is coated with a thin metal film to reflect the received laser reflected from the object and be penetrated by an electromagnetic wave incident from an outside the laser scanner. The received laser reflected from the object is reflected by the mirror surface of the oscillating mirror coated with the thin metal film and received by a laser receiver, and the electromagnetic wave incident from the outside the laser scanner penetrates the mirror surface of the oscillating mirror and then dissipates.
