Abstract
An optical scanner is described and includes an optical beam assembly and a transducer. The optical beam assembly includes a pivoting portion having a cantilevered beam; a stationary portion; a first torsional flexure coupling a first side of the pivoting portion to the stationary portion; and a second torsional flexure coupling a second side of the pivoting portion to the stationary portion. The transducer includes a first magnetic element disposed on the pivoting portion and a second magnetic element disposed on the stationary portion. The first and second magnetic elements are configured to generate magnetic fields that interact to rotate the pivoting portion relative to the stationary portion about an axis defined by the first and second torsional flexures.
