OPTICAL DEFLECTION DEVICE FOR SCANNING, OPHTHALMOLOGIC MEASUREMENT AND THERAPY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An optical deflection unit for scanning, ophthalmological measuring, and therapy systems comprising a deflection mirror, oscillatingly movable through non-contacting electromagnetic drives around at least one rotation axis, and which is arranged between at least two bearings in the direction of the at least one rotation axis, a position sensor, and a control unit, the deflection mirror, the position sensor, and the control unit forming a control circuit for minimizing the deviation of the actual positions, detected by the position sensor, from the desired positions of the deflection mirror.

Abstract
An optical deflection unit for targeted radiation, e.g., produced by laser or superluminescent diodes, in scanning, ophthalmological measuring and therapy systems, comprises a deflection mirror, a position sensor and a control unit, which form a control circuit for minimizing the deviation of the actual positions, detected by the position sensor, from the desired positions of the deflection mirror, whereby the optical deflection unit comprises a deflection mirror, oscillatingly movable by means of non-contacting electromagnetic drives around at least one rotation axis, and which is positioned in the direction of the, at least, one rotation axis between at least two bearings. The optical deflection unit is designed may also be used for beam guidance in high and ultrahigh vacuum installations, such as UV and EUV exposure installations for semiconductor lithography.
