Abstract
Techniques and configurations for an apparatus for projecting a light pattern on an object are described. In one embodiment, the apparatus may include a laser arrangement configured to generate a laser line, a tiltable micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) mirror configured to tiltably reflect the laser line, and a controller configured to control tilting of the MEMS mirror to enable the reflected laser line to project a light pattern on the object. The controller may be configured to control the MEMS mirror with a tilting frequency that is complementary to an optical power of the laser line, or to control the optical power of the laser line to be complementary to the tilting frequency of the MEMS mirror.
