Abstract
An instrument including a scannable mirror employs multimode optical fibers and an optical coupler. Modal dispersion, e.g., from the multimode optical fiber, is reduced by a method employing deconvolution. The scannable mirror may employ a mirror movable in an optical waveguide or an optical fiber wound on an expandable core.
