Abstract :
This paper addresses the issues inherent in electromechanical beam scanning which has found a new application in perimeter security. Through passive optics and MicroPhotonics, we introduce an architecture for a novel inertia-less long range laser scanner, based on the concept of an optical cavity featuring adaptive beam spacing. We also explore the feasibility of object detection based on intensity profiles.
