Patent number: 7780087Abstract: An optical system and method for data reading. In one system, a scanner includes a laser diode and a beam splitter for generating first optical beam and a second optical beam, the first optical beam being directed toward one side of a scanning optical element such as a rotating polygon mirror and to a first mirror array, the second optical beam being simultaneously directed toward a second optical element such as another side of the rotating polygon mirror and then to a second and a third mirror array. The first mirror array is configured to generate a scan pattern through a vertical window and the second and third mirror arrays are configured to generate scan patterns passing through a horizontal window. In combination, the three mirror arrays generate three sets of scan lines so as to scan five sides of a six-sided item (e.g., the bottom and all lateral sides of an object) being passed through the scan volume.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2009Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Datalogic Scanning, Inc.Inventors: Mohan LeeLaRama Bobba, Jorge Louis Acosta, Timothy Joseph Eusterman, James W. Ring, Alexander M. McQueen
