I am interested in finding out more information about laser XY beam positioning systems. Specifcally, such systems that Laser Rock and such use at your local planetarium/science museum. I know that typically they use high speed galvanometers driven with feedback controlled type servo amplifiers which in turn are driven by a microprocessor or other control system. Are there other more solid state methods of positioning? How about intensity (Z axis) control? Are there any people out there who have technical experience with these systems? I am very interested in communicating with you if you do. I want to attempt to build such a system and need your assistance to get ideas on how to implement it. If there are any books on this subject I would like to know of them also.
