Abstract

An example device including a laser source for generating a laser pulse, a scanner for mounting the laser source, and a motion detector for detecting a motion of the scanner when the laser pulse scans an object. The motion detector includes an optical sensor for generating an optical signal based on the motion of the scanner, and a controller. The controller determines a movement of the scanner and disables the laser source when the scanner ceases to move.
