Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the size and weight of the device by providing a couple of opposite mirrors which form the optical path of an optical system, fixing one mirror, and supporting the other on an electrostrictive element so that the other mirror can slant to one mirror. CONSTITUTION:The couple of opposite mirrors 1 and 1 which form the optical path of the optical system are provided, one mirror is fixed at a fixed position, and the other mirror 2 is supported on the electrostrictive element 3 and arranged so that it can slant to the mirror 1; and an element 3 is equipped with a driver 7. Light 4 to be deflected is reflected repeatedly between the mirrors 1and 2 to become deflected light 5 having a projection angle 6. Here, the element 3 is strained in proportion to the output of the driver 7 and the mirror 2 is slanted at a tilt angle 8, thereby varying the projection angel of the deflected light 5. Thus, the light is reflected repeatedly between the opposite mirrors 1 and 2 which face each other slantingly to output deflected light 9 having a projection angle 10 twice as large as the tilt angle 8, and the deflection angle and deflection speed are easily controlled.
