Abstract

See full text

In a driver for driving an optical deflector including a mirror, a piezoelectric actuator and a piezoelectric sensor adapted to sense vibrations of the piezoelectric actuator, a saw-tooth voltage generating unit; a combined saw-tooth voltage generating unit; and a control unit, the control unit applies a saw-tooth voltage and its inverted voltage to the piezoelectric actuator; performs a low-pass filtering process using a cut-off frequency upon a sense voltage; calculates a half period of fluctuations included in a low-pass-filtered saw-tooth voltage; combines the low-pass-filtered saw-tooth voltage with a delayed low-pass-filtered saw-tooth voltage; and to applies a combined saw-tooth voltage and its inverted voltage to the piezoelectric actuator.
