Abstract
An optical scanner includes a cantilevered optical member protruding from the base portion and a transducer assembly comprising one or more piezoelectric actuators coupled to the cantilevered optical member and configured to induce motion of the cantilevered optical member in a scan pattern. In some cases, the cantilevered optical member has a tapered shape with a distal end narrower than a proximal end adjacent to the base portion of the optical scanner. In some cases, the cantilevered optical member has an elongated width along a first plane and includes a plurality of waveguides. The transducer assembly is configured to induce motion of the cantilevered optical member in a second plane orthogonal to the first plane.
