A new horn-shaped electrooptic scanner is described with significantly improved scanning sensitivity over rectangular-shaped devices. In the new device, the shape of the scanner is chosen to follow the trajectory of the beam. An example design is described that exhibits a factor of two larger scanning sensitivity than a rectangular device with comparable maximum scanning angle. Beam propagation simulations and measurements on an experimental device verify the scanner performance.
