Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of why scanning systems are used rather than more straightforward imaging systems. Different classes of scanner and optical systems are described along with the tradeoffs in performance that have to be made when balancing different performance requirements. Detailed performance of a particular parabolic mirror, large area scanner is presented.
