Systems and methods for monitoring the instantaneous position of a scanning element of a light scanner via an optical-feedback signal are disclosed, where the optical-feedback signal is a portion of a light signal being steered in a two-dimensional pattern by the light scanner. The optical-feedback signal is detected by a position monitor that provides a commensurate feedback signal. In some embodiments, the feedback signal is used to develop a transfer function for the light scanner via a calibration routine. In some embodiments, the feedback signal is used in a closed-loop driving scheme used to drive the light scanner. Embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure are particularly well suited for use in object tracking systems, such as eye trackers.
