SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF PROVIDING IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF SCANNING MIRRORS COUPLED TO LIMITED ROTATION MOTORS

摘要

A mirror (10) is disclosed for use in a limited rotation motor system, wherein the mirror includes a body (18), an aperture (16) within the body, and a high density material (32) within the aperture. The body, formed of one or more materials, has an exposed mirror surface and is mountable with the limited rotation motor system for rotation with respect to an axis (Ar) of mirror rotation. The aperture is positioned at least proximate to a portion of the axis of mirror rotation. The high density material is provided within the aperture such that it is capable of movement within the aperture, and the high density material has a density that is greater than a density of the material of the body of the mirror.
