Abstract
An optical pattern uses a single rotating component. The rotating component includes a number of deflection sectors. Each sector deflects an incident optical beam by a substantially constant angular amount although this amount may vary from one sector to the next. The rotating component may be combined with an imaging lens group that produces, for example, image points, spots, or lines displaced along a line locus.
Claims25
An optical pattern generator for generating a pattern of figures using an incident optical beam, the optical pattern generator comprising:
- a rotatable component rotating about a rotation axis, the rotatable component including a plurality of deflection sectors arranged around the rotation axis, and at least two of the deflection sectors are configured to deflect the incident optical beam by different angular deflections to generate the pattern of figures at different locations on a portion of human tissue.
