Abstract :
We have successfully designed and demonstrated a novel wide angular scan range, large diameter aperture optical beam scanner for ultrafast nanosecond scan setting speeds. The free-space wavelength multiplexed optical scanner (W-MOS) offers powerful scanner features in a compact and simple to build and control package leading to potentially wide spread use of this technology
