Waterloo has developed a new class of optical scanner drivers that deliver excellent speed stability. A constant rotational speed is critical for many applications, and more difficult to obtain at lower rotational speeds. In partnership with one of our customers, we have met their stringent requirements, showing speed stability approaching 0.001% at 50 RPM. This parameter is defined as the standard deviation of the rotational period divided by the average rotational period. 0.001% deviation means that the optic only rotates 13 arc seconds faster or slower than its average, enabling precise LiDAR, medical, and scientific applications to succeed.
