Abstract
A method includes fabricating a mirror system that includes a dual axis gimbal, a mirror, and a mirror substrate that are formed together as an integral component using an additive manufacturing process. The method also includes forming multiple first gaps in the mirror system using a subtractive manufacturing process, where the first gaps extend through the mirror system in a first direction. The method further includes forming multiple second gaps in the mirror system using the subtractive manufacturing process, where the second gaps extend through the mirror system in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first gaps and the second gaps separate the gimbal into a top portion and a bottom portion.
