Fiber scanning system having a magnet attached to the fiber at a position before or after an electrical coil with improved tip positioning

摘要

A fiber scanning system is provided comprising a housing (102) with a fiber (13), the fiber (13) comprising a fixed part and a free end, the fixed part being attached to a bottom of the housing (102) and the fiber (13) extending parallel to the wall of the housing (102). At least one electrical coil (12) is attached to the wall at a position in between the fixed part and the free end of the fiber (13), a winding of the electrical coil (12) being in a plane parallel to the fiber (13). A magnet (11) is attached to the fiber (13), such that the electrical coil (12) may induce a force on the magnet (11). The magnet (11) is attached to the fiber (13) at a position just before or after the electrical coil (12), a width of the magnet (11) being such that the magnet (11) extends over the electrical coil (12).
