US Patent Issued to AMO DEVELOPMENT on Dec. 2 for "Ophthalmic laser delivery apparatus using MEMS micromirror arrays for scanning and focusing laser beam" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,485,040, issued on Dec. 2, was assigned to AMO DEVELOPMENT LLC (Irvine, Calif.).

"Ophthalmic laser delivery apparatus using MEMS micromirror arrays for scanning and focusing laser beam" was invented by Javier G. Gonzalez (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In a laser delivery system for an ophthalmic laser surgery system, a laser beam scanner employs a single or two MEMS micromirror arrays. Each micromirror in the array is capable of being independently actuated to rotate to desired angles. In one embodiment, one or two micromirror arrays are controlled to scan a laser beam in two directions. In another embodiment, a micromi...
