Abstract
A light beam deflection system is configured to transmit a light beam at an output deflection angle that changes over time. The system includes a first resonant structure configured to oscillate about a first rotation axis at first resonant frequency; a second resonant structure configured to oscillate about a second rotation axis at a second resonant frequency, where the first rotation axis is parallel to the second rotation axis, and where the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency are different and define a predetermined frequency difference; and a driver circuit configured to generate a first driving signal to drive the first resonant structure while further generating a second driving signal to drive the second resonant structure such that the output deflection angle of the light beam oscillates according to a beat pattern of a beat wave whose extrema amplitudes are modulated and defined by a periodic envelope.
