Abstract

This paper proposes a phase modulation method for Lissajous scanning systems, which provides adaptive scan pattern design without changing the frame rate or the field of view. Based on a rigorous analysis of Lissajous scanning, phase modulation constrains and a method for pixel calculation are derived. An accurate and simple metric for resolution calculation is proposed based on the area spanned by neighboring pixels and used for scan pattern optimization also considering the scanner dynamics. The methods are implemented using MEMS mirrors for verification of the adaptive pattern shaping, where a 5-fold resolution improvement in a defined region of interest is demonstrated.
