Abstract
The addition of an apertured mirror before the imaging lens is proposed as a method of providing feedback in a single-axis resonant fiber scanner. Reflection at the scan extremities generates timing signals interlaced with back-scattered data, and a phase locked loop and a proportional controller then adjust the drive frequency and amplitude. The capture range and stability of the system are examined. Verification is obtained using a confocal scanner based on mechanically biaxial fiber.
