Abstract
We present a new fast scan system that employs a stepper motor used in a si
ngle step oscillating mode and a position monitor device based on a diode l
aser. The setup used generates delays as large as 105 ps at 10 Hz, with 100
% duty cycle. We also introduce a reliable device based on the shadow of a
moving cutter with a laser diode as the light source to avoid power fluctua
tions problems. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
