1. A two-dimensional optical scan system for scanning light propagating along an optical axis of the scan system, the scan system comprising:
a counter-rotating disk scanner comprising at least two disks for scanning the optical axis along a first direction; and
a scan mechanism optically coupled with the counter-rotating disk scanner for scanning the optical axis along a second direction that is cross to the first direction.
