DEVICE FOR OPTICAL IMAGING, TRACKING, AND POSITION MEASUREMENT WITH A SCANNING MEMS MIRROR
First Claim
1. An optical tracking system, comprising:
- at least one scanning detector having a scanning mirror and one or more fixed photo-detectors located near the scanning mirror,wherein the scanning mirror is configured to deflect a light beam from a source towards a retroreflective target and the photodetectors are configured to collect a portion of the light beam that is retroreflected from the target.

Abstract
An optical tracking system can include at least one scanning detector having a scanning mirror and one or more fixed photo-detectors located near the scanning mirror. The scanning mirror can be configured to deflect a light beam from a source towards a retroreflective target and the photodetectors are configured to collect a portion of the light beam that is retroreflected from the target. A scanning optical detector apparatus may optionally comprise a substrate, a scanning mirror having at least one portion monolithically integrated into the substrate, and one or more photodetectors monolithically incorporated into the substrate. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the claims'"'"' scope or meaning.
