Abstract

See full text

The natural resonant frequency (and phase) of a resonant mechanical system (having an spring structure that includes a material whose elastic properties change with temperature, e.g., by at least 0.05% per .degree.C.) is tuned to a desired value by changing the temperature of at least part of the spring structure. A two-dimensional image is generated on a surface by tunign a resonant driver (having such a temperature sensitive element) to a natural resonant frequency in coordination with modulation of a beam that is raster scanned on the surface by the resonant driver.
