Laser Scanner
Avo Photonics has been contracted by Vescent
Photonics to provide custom development and ongoing
packaging services for its 2-dimensional electro-optic
laser scanners. Rather than controlling beam direction
through mechanical manipulation of lenses or mirrors,
Vescent’s novel scanning technology uses changes in voltage
through a silicon-mounted liquid crystal waveguide to
steer optical output, resulting in the ability to maneuver
a beam up to 270 degrees in-plane. The absence of moving
mechanical components allows for a faster, lighter weight,
more robust scanner with no induced angular momentum,
ideal for such applications as laser range finding,
topographical mapping and line-of-site communication
between high-speed vehicles.
