Abstract
A method is described in which a visible or infrared light beam is repeatedly reflected between a rotating and stationary mirror system. The resulting sweep speed is proportional to the number of such reflections. Light pulses of 4×10−8 sec duration were measured. A considerable increase in the sweep speed appears feasible. Various applications of the system are mentioned.Keywords
