International Classification:
B81C 99/00 G01S 7/481 G02B 26/08
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for designing an optical scanning mirror. The method may include receiving an initial set of design parameters for the scanning mirror assembly. The method may also include simulating first scanning mirror oscillation based on the initial set of design parameters to compute an initial non-linear spring constant associated with at least one spring of the scanning mirror assembly. The method may further include adjusting the set of design parameters for the scanning mirror assembly based on a comparison between the initial non-linear spring constant and a target non-linear spring constant. The method may also include outputting the at least one structural alteration to be implemented on the at least one spring. In certain aspects, the initial set of design parameters and the adjusted set of design parameters may be associated with a same mirror oscillation frequency and linear spring constant.
