METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FIBER SCANNERS WITH CONTINUOUS BOND LINES

A method of fabricating a fiber scanning system includes forming a set of piezoelectric elements. The method also includes coating an interior surface and an exterior surface of each of the set of piezoelectric elements with a first conductive material. The method also includes providing a fiber opt...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of fabricating a fiber scanning system includes forming a set of piezoelectric elements. The method also includes coating an interior surface and an exterior surface of each of the set of piezoelectric elements with a first conductive material. The method also includes providing a fiber optic element having an actuation region and coating the actuation region of the fiber optic element with a second conductive material. The method also includes joining the interior surfaces of the set of piezoelectric elements to the actuation region of the fiber optic element and poling the set of piezoelectric elements. The method also includes forming electrical connections to the exterior surface of each of the set of piezoelectric elements and the fiber optic element.
