    Abstract: A region to be scanned is imaged in an arcuate surface, typically by a concave mirror, and the primary image is scanned by a rotating array of optical probes, typically roof reflectors or triple reflectors. Oscillation of the scanner exit cone with the scanning movement is compensated at a relay image. Improved correction of the primary spherical aberration is produced by a corrector in the stabilized beam conjugate to the center of curvature of the objective, leaving the physical center free to accommodate a pointing mirror or the like. Periodic focal shift due to the beam stabilizer, typically an oscillating mirror or rotating mirror array, is nulled by selecting the radius of the roof or triple reflector array different from its normal value of half the primary image radius. In particular, the stabilizing mirrors may be mounted and driven with the scanning reflectors. Triple reflectors as scanning probes provide lateral beam offset, permitting increased effective aperture and facilitating raster scan. A preferred calibrating system also uses a triple reflector.

    Abstract translation: 要扫描的区域通常通过凹面镜成像在弧形表面中,并且通过光学探针(通常为屋顶反射器或三反射器)的旋转阵列来扫描主图像。 扫描器出口锥体与扫描运动的振荡在继电器图像上进行补偿。 主要球面像差的改进校正由与物镜的曲率中心共轭的稳定光束中的校正器产生,使得物理中心可以容纳定向镜等。 通过选择不同于主图像半径的正常值的屋顶或三重反射器阵列的半径,由于光束稳定器(通常为振动反射镜或旋转镜阵列)而导致的周期性焦点偏移为零。 特别地,稳定镜可以用扫描反射器安装和驱动。 作为扫描探头的三反射器提供横向光束偏移,允许增加有效孔径并促进光栅扫描。 优选的校准系统也使用三重反射器。
