<title>Achieving high-duty cycle sawtooth scanning with galvanometric scanners</title>

This paper discusses the design considerations in the development of a high duty cycle sawtooth scanning system based on galvanometric scanner technology. The system is suitable for high definition television, data recording systems, imaging systems, and other important raster scanning applications. Test results show that the developed galvanometric scanner system can achieve a duty cycle above 80 percent while operating at 96 Hz with a mirror aperture of 32 mm and useable scan angle of 28 degrees.
