This is probably a naive question, but how do you aim a laser beam? (I know,
very carefully!). But seriously, are there non-mechanical methods to aim
a beam, or must I rely on moving mirrors around? What do things like
handheld laser barcode scanners and heads-up displays do? Are they
mechanical??

Thanks,
