20 February 2014Quasistatic microscanner with linearized scanning for an adaptive three-dimensional laser camera
This paper reports on a gimbaled MEMS scanning mirror with quasistatic resonant actuation, specially developed for adaptive raster scanning in an innovative three-dimensional (3-D) time-of-flight (ToF) laser camera with real-time foveation. Large quasistatic deflections of ±10 deg are provided by vertical comb drives in the vertical direction in contrast to resonant horizontal scanning. This mirror is 2.6×3.6 mm and operates at 1600 Hz with an 80-deg optical scan range. For position feedback, piezo-resistive position sensors are integrated on chip for both axes. To guarantee the full reception aperture of effectively 5 mm, a synchronized driven MEMS scanner array—consisting of five hybrid assembled MEMS devices—is used in an innovative 3-D ToF laser scanner. This enables a distance measuring rate of 1 MVoxel/s with an uncertainty in distance measurement of 3 to 5 mm for a 7.5-m measuring range for a gray target. Flatness-based open loop control is used for driving control of quasistatic axis in order to compensate for the dynamics of the low damped MEMS system.
