An optical scanner and an optical scanning device, an optical sensor unit, a coded data reader, and a POS system employing an optical scanner. The optical comprises an elastically deformable element, a vibrational input segment disposed at a first end of the elastically deformable element, a driven segment disposed at a second end of the elastically deformable element, a vibration source for inducing vibration in the vibrational input segment, whereby the vibration induced in the vibrational input segment produces elastic deformation of the elastically deformable element and consequent movement of the driven segment, and a stop for limiting a range of the movement of the driven segment.
