Abstract
The present invention offers a light scanner which is compact and highly precise during high-speed operation, has a long lifespan, and is resistant to influence by external acceleration. Specifically, a light beam emitted from an optical source 20 is separated into two light beams by means of a light beam separation means 30, and these light beams are deflected by a mirror 43 on the scanner 40. On of the light beams is used for the object of usage, while the other light beam is made incident on a photo detector 50 which outputs a signal based on the incident position of the light beam, in order to determine the deflection angle of the light beam based on vibrations of the mirror 43.
