Abstract

A counter-rotating disk scanner (120) together with another scan mechanism (130) provides two-dimensional optical scanning. The counter-rotating disk scanner (120) includes counter-rotating scan disks that implement the scanning action as they rotate through an optical axis (190) of the system (110).
