ABSTRACT
A compact forward-directed transmissive beam scanner operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm was constructed and characterized. The scanner consists of two wire-grid polarizers (WGPs) surrounding a 45° Faraday rotator, causing incident light to reflect once from each WGP before transmitting through the second polarizer. Scanning is achieved by tilting one of the WGPs. Measured efficiency remained above 73% over a 90° forward scan range (-45∘ to +45∘) for vertically polarized incident light. Additionally, we measured the efficiency versus beam deflection for four different incident linear polarization configurations, three of which maintained >70% efficiency for deflection angles up to -60∘.
