Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a scanning mirror assembly for an optical sensing system. The scanning mirror assembly may include a scanning mirror configured to rotate around an axis of rotation. The scanning mirror assembly may further include a plurality of torsion springs coupled to at least one side of the scanning mirror along the axis of rotation. In certain aspects, the plurality of torsion springs may collectively have a non-linear spring constant and a linear spring constant. In certain other aspects, a ratio of the non-linear spring constant over the linear spring constant may meet a predetermined threshold.
