Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure may include a method and/or a system for providing an acousto-optic deflector (AOD), emitting, toward a first deflector plate, a source beam, deflect the source beam, via the first deflector plate, to generate a deflected source beam toward the AOD, diffract, via the AOD, the deflected source beam to generate at least one diffracted beam, toward a second deflector plate, and deflect the at least one diffracted beam, via the second deflector plate, to generate a deflected diffraction light, wherein the source beam and the deflected diffraction light are collinear or substantially collinear.
Claims18
A method of angle and displacement compensation, comprising:
- emitting, toward a deflector plate, a source beam;
- deflecting the source beam, via the deflector plate, to generate a deflected source beam toward an acousto-optic deflector (AOD);
- and
- diffracting, via the AOD, the deflected source beam to generate at least one diffracted beam that is substantially collinear with the source beam.
An acousto-optic deflector (AOD) system, comprising:
- a light source configured to provide a source beam toward a deflector plate;
- the deflector plate configured to deflect the source beam to generate a deflected source beam toward an AOD;
- and
- the AOD configured to diffract the deflected source beam to generate at least one diffracted beam, wherein source beam and the at least one diffracted beam are substantially collinear.
