Would anyone out there happen to know of someplace where I could get some relatively inexpensive laser beam deflection hardware of the type used to create laser light shows? I don't need anything amazingly fast, just something that can be interfaced to a computer which can sweep the beam through about 30 degrees in the X and Y directions. I'm also looking for some kind of electronic shutter device that could be used to turn the beam on and off. The application is a simple laser light-show device for experimental purposes The equipment will probably be used with a low power helium neon laser. The beam doesn't have to move super-fast...but it needs to move at least fast enough to draw several words and retrace them frequently enough to avoid major flicker.
