Laser manipulator apparatus with double pivotal mirrors
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5181229
A manual manipulator mechanism for a surgical or industrial laser employs reflecting mirrors each rotatable about two perpendicular axes, to thereby reduce the total number of mirrors required and simplify the overall mechanism. Optical alignment is maintained by a linkage arm and yoke arrangement which is fully rotatable about a first axis, and which causes the controlled mirror to pivot through an angle one-half as much as the laser beam outlet tube pivots about a second axis. The linkage arms may be replaced by a gear or friction wheel mechanism.
