DFM Engineering has provided many Electro-Optical-Mechanical Systems™ (EOMS™) in scanners used for Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) remote sensing applications.

Typically these scanners are an Alt-Az Coude' form of a beam director using two flat mirrors.

The major difference between a LIDAR scanner and a beam director is the scanner has a lower angular resolution and a higher speed.

The optics may be of lower optical figure because of the longer wavelengths often used.

The scanners may also incorporate additional EOMS™ components such as collimating optics, zoom lenses, focus motion, fiber feed, etc.

DFM Engineering has designed and manufactured over 30 EOMS™ incorporating these features that were used to measure the atmospheric turbulence.

Three were near a helicopter landing ship where stabilization of the scanner to correct for a ship's roll, pith, and yaw has also been provided.
