An electro-optic beam scanner fabricated on ferroelectric LiTaO{sub 3} is demonstrated which is capable of continuously scanning at wavelengths ranging from 0.4-5 {micro}m. The scanning performance varied from a total deflection angle of 13.38{sup o} at 1558 nm to 16.18{sup o} at 632.8 nm. The dispersion of the r{sub 33} and r{sub 13} electro-optic coefficients of LiTaO{sub 3} with wavelength was also determined.
