    Abstract: An optical scanner may include a sampler to receive an optical beam and provide a sampled beam including a portion of the optical beam, a dispersive element to spectrally disperse the sampled beam along a dispersion direction, one or more detectors to receive at least a portion of the sampled beam dispersed along the dispersion direction, one or more acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) configured to deflect the optical beam from the sampler, and a controller. The controller may determine a center of mass of the sampled beam dispersed along the dispersion direction based on signals from at least one of the one or more detectors, and generate a drive signal for at least one of the one or more AODs to deflect the optical beam from the sampler along a selected deflection angle based on the center of mass.
