A scanning mirror is used to precisely direct and steer laser or light beams in scanning systems, enabling applications such as laser marking, 3D scanning, and optical sensing.
Common substrate materials include silicon, fused silica, borosilicate glass, and aluminum with reflective coating. The choice depends on the application, especially for high-power lasers where fused silica is often preferred.
Important specifications include clear aperture, surface flatness, surface quality, reflectivity, angular scan range, scan frequency, position accuracy, repeatability, operating temperature, and substrate material. Always verify these values with the manufacturer for your specific model.
The mirror is mounted on a precision motor, such as a galvanometer, which rotates it around one or two axes. The angle of reflection changes proportionally to the mirror's rotation, allowing precise control of the beam's direction.
