Abstract
This disclosure relates to devices for two-dimensional deflection of a laser beam, which include a substrate having a substrate opening, a spring membrane provided on the substrate having spring arms extending over the substrate opening, and a middle section arranged in the substrate opening and supported by the spring arms. The middle section is mounted so it is two-dimensionally tiltable and is axially displaceable in both directions of the spring membrane middle axis. The device includes a mirror fastened on the middle section of the spring membrane and a magnetic or electrostatic drive for tilting the mirror against the restoring force of the spring arms. One or more of a component coupled to the mirror and an end stop unit are configured to limit axial deflection of the middle section to a distance that is within a range of axial deflection of the middle section during the drive-related tilting of the mirror.
