A polarization-insensitive scanning system (10) includes an optical beam splitter (12) to split an unpolarized optical beam (ab) into a first polarization (a) and a second polarization (b). This system includes a plurality of electro-optic scanning devices (14) to deflect an optical beam (ab) in response to an electrical control signal. Electrical leads (18) communicate the electrical control signals to the scanning devices (14) from a controller (20), which selects and applies the signals. A combiner element (22) is used to recombine the first polarization (a) and the second polarization (b) into the optical beam (ab). The first polarization optical beam (a) is directed through a first electro-optic scanning device (14) and the second polarization optical beam (b) is directed through a second electo-optic scanning device (14).
