Beam steering elements such as MEMS mirrors and galvanometer mirrors require a wider scanning range. In addition, the scanning speed of the aforementioned elements is not constant due to sinusoidal driving, resulting in uneven exposure. In this presentation, we show the design of a geometric phase element that expands the scanning range of beam steering elements and at the same time maintains a constant scanning speed. A MEMS mirror is assumed for the element design, and the spatial distribution of the local lattice period on the element is designed.
