Abstract
An optical scanner is disclosed for scanning a three-dimensional object or a two-dimensional document located in a space which is open and exposed to ambient light. Light from a laser is directed through a beam splitter and a deflector to the object or document, from which it is reflected back through the deflector, and from the beam splitter through a narrow-band optical interference filter to a photodetector. The laser light is modulated at a carrier frequency rate, and the electrical signal from the photodetector is demodulated to produce a video signal free of disturbances due to ambient light.
