摘要:
Apparatus includes an optical fiber, an actuator, and a joint mechanicallycoupling the actuator to the optical fiber. Thejoint includes a neck extending along an axis. The optical fiber is threadedthrough an aperture extending along the axis through theneck. The optical fiber is attached to the joint at a surface of the neckfacing the axis. The joint also includes a collar extending along theaxis. The actuator is mechanically attached to the joint at an inner surfaceof the collar facing the axis. The joint also includes a flexuralelement extending radially from the neck to the collar. During operation, thejoint couples a force from the actuator to the optical fiberto vary an orientation of a portion of the optical fiber extending from theneck with respect to the axis.
