An apparatus includes a reflector system having a support, a reflector and a spring structure for scanning motion of the reflector in two orthogonal oscillation modes. A frequency response peaks at a natural resonant frequency with an initial bandwidth. A first transducer structure provides mechanical actuation of the reflector; a second transducer structure generates sense signals representing mechanical motion of the reflector. A feedback circuit receives from the second transducer structure a sense signal and generates to the first transducer structure a drive signal. The feedback circuit is adjusts amplitude and frequency of the drive signal to a non-linear vibration range where a frequency shift at the peak frequency is at least ten times the initial bandwidth, varies the amplitude of the drive signal in proportion to a waveform of a modulation signal, and sets frequency of the modulation signal component smaller than the frequency shift at the peak frequency.
