NanoScan is a PC-based instrument for the measurement and analysis of optical beam spatial profiles in accordance with ISO standards. Beam profiles are measured using the International Standard ISO 11146. Scanheads that are fitted with an optional power feature can measure power in accordance with ISO 13694.
The system comprises a scanhead for sensing the laser beam, a USB 2.0 controller, and NanoScan software. An optional automation feature includes an ActiveX automation server.
NanoScan uses moving slits, one of the ISO Standard scanning aperture techniques. Measurement is possible for beam sizes from microns to centimeters at beam powers from microwatts to over kilowatts, often without attenuation. Detector options (silicon, germanium, and pyroelectric technologies) allow measurement at wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the far infrared. It can simultaneously measure multiple beams and offers an optional power meter for scanheads with silicon and germanium detectors.
Profiles are acquired with 12-bit digitization, and analyzed for real-time updates up to the maximum scanhead scan rate of 20Hz. Spatial sampling resolution can be as small as 5.7 nanometers. With NanoScan, beam profile measurement is extremely easy: simply position the scanhead in the beam path and within seconds the system does the rest.
Benefits

Measure Your Beam As Never Before
The system has a USB 2.0 interface and operates with the latest Microsoft operating systems 64/32- bit Windows 7, and provides deep, 12-bit digitization of the signal for enhanced dynamic range up to 35dB optical power. The digital controller improves the accuracy and stability of the beam profile measurement by orders of magnitude. It is now possible to measure beam size and beam pointing with a 3-sigma precision of 1μm or better. The software controllable scan speed and a “peak-connect” algorithm allow the measurement of pulsed and pulse width modulated lasers with frequencies of a few kHz and higher with any detector.* Measure Your Beam As Never Before
  NanoScan Option NSEC: Side exit cable
* The minimum frequency is a function of the beam size and the scan speed. This is a simple arithmetic relationship; there must be a sufficient number of pulses during the time that the slits sweep through the beam to generate a meaningful profile. Please refer to Photon's Application Note, Measuring Pulsed Beams with a Slit-Based Profiler.

Measured Beam Results
From 1989 through 1996, John Fleischer, past President of Photon Inc., chaired the working laser beam width ISO/DIN committee that resulted in the ISO/DIN 11146 standard. The final approved standard, available in 13 languages, is a compromise based on many years of work by the committee. The standard governs profile measurements and analysis using scanning apertures, variable apertures, area sensors and detector arrays. NanoScan measures spatial beam irradiance profiles using scanning slit techniques. The standard NanoScan uses the moving-slit method, approved by International Standard ISO/DIN 11146. Results measured include: Measured Beam Results

Multiple Beam Analysis Software
The NanoScan software is an integrated package for Microsoft Windows operating systems, it can measure from one to 16 beams in the NanoScan aperture, all with sub-micron precision. The optimal-pro software includes ActiveX automation for users who want to integrate the NanoScan into OEM systems or write their own user interface screens.
M² Wizard
M-squared (M²) software Wizard is an interactive program for determining the “times diffraction limit” factor M² by the Rayleigh Method. The M² Wizard prompts and guides the user through a series of manual measurements and data entries required for calculating M².
The Optional Rayleigh Range Translation Test Fixture (RAL-FXT) provides convenient translation of a NanoScan scanhead assembly and a digital readout of its relative position along the Z-axis. Used with a user-provided focusing lens and the M² Wizard in the NanoScan Analysis Software, this fixture offers a quick and easy method to determine the times-diffraction propagation factor (M²) of a laser. M² Wizard
  The optional Translation Test Fixture makes manual M2 measurements accurate and repeatable
The RAL-FXT features a base plate, sliding carriage and digital micrometer. The base plate (5.4×10.2×0.38in.) provides a series of ¼-20 threaded mounting holes at 2in. centers to facilitate convenient fixturing of the assembly with respect to the focusing lens. The sliding carriage accommodates the combination of the 0.125-in. dowel pin and the ¼-20 mounting hole found on any Photon scan head’s rotation mount, and enables smooth movement of the scan head assembly over a 6-in. range of travel. A Mitutoyo micrometer with a handy re-zeroing feature and accompanying slide provides precise determination of the scan head location and/or travel distance with a resolution of tens of microns.
For automated and automatic M² measurements the NanoModeScan option is required.
Pulsed Laser Beam Profiling
In addition to profiling CW laser beams, NanoScan can also profile pulsed laser beams with repetition rate in the 1kHz range and above. To enable the measurement of these pulsed lasers, the NanoScan profiler incorporates a “peak connect” algorithm and software-controlled variable scan speed on all scanheads. The accuracy of the measurement generally depends on the laser beam spot size and the pulse-topulse repeatability of the laser. The NanoScan is ideal for measuring Q-switched lasers and lasers operating with pulse width modulation power (PWM) control. In the past few years, lasers with pico- and femtosecond pulse durations have begun to be used in many applications. Although these lasers add some additional complication to the measurement techniques, the NanoScan can also measure this class of laser.
Optional Power Meter
The silicon and germanium NanoScan systems offer the 200mW power meter as an option. The power meter can be calibrated against the user's ISO- or NIST- traceable power meter. The 200mW power meter has a quartz attenuator window that provides a uniform response across a broad wavelength range with a 1.5% accuracy when used in the same geometry as calibrated.
The power meter screen in the software shows both the total power and the individual power in each of the beams being measured. The power meter option is not available with pyroelectric detectors.
Optional Automation Interface
The Pro model scanheads implement an Automation Server that can be used by an Automation Client written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), C/C++ or by an application with support for ActiveX Automation, such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word or National Instruments’ LabVIEW. Optional Collimation Fixture
  Full featured application examples are included to help your learning curve when embedding NanoScan - PRO into an automation application
Optional Collimation Fixture
A single beam size measurement using a Collimation Fixture is all that is required to determine laser beam collimation or divergence angle. Real-time optical alignment can then be performed to determine best collimation. No special training is needed to perform these simple measurements. Unlike with most measurement shortcuts, high-precision collimation measurements can be performed with exceedingly high resolution, higher than alternative techniques. All that is required for these accurate measurements of collimation is a test lens and a NanoScan. The laser beam profiler is positioned such that it measures beam size at the geometric focus of the lens. From lens theory, the angle of collimation is determined by the equation: q = Df / f, where q is the angle of collimation, Df is the beam size measured at the focal length, and f is the focal length of the lens. Once the beam size is measured at the focal length of the lens, simply dividing this measured beam size by the divergence angle determines the laser beam collimation angle. The beam profiler remains fixed, and active alignment is easily performed in real time. This level of simplicity, speed, and functionality is simply not possible with techniques involving multiple beam profile positions.

The power that can be handled by the NanoScan is dependent on the wavelength of the light to be measured. The wavelength of light determines both its reflectivity from the slit surfaces and the energetic nature of the interactions with materials. As a rule of thumb, there are three basic wavelength regimes that govern how much power the scanhead can handle:
  • 3μm to FIR (>20μm) –100W maximum pyroelectric detector
  • 700nm to 3μm—25W maximum pyroelectric detector; 1W germanium detector
  • 190nm to 700nm—3W maximum pyroelectric detector; 1W silicon detector
Power levels above these for any of these wavelengths can be considered "High Power." See the High Power NanoScan section for appropriate products. Consult the damage thresholds charts found in the manual before placing an order or exposing any NanoScan slit profiler to a laser beam

  Power attenuation options
  ND stand for Neutral Density, a term used in photography to designate that a specific filter will attenuate all wavelengths across the visible equally or neutrally. This is the name given to the Wratten type 96 filters, which come in various Optical Densities, ND1, ND2, ND0.5, etc. however, the proper term for beam profiling is Optical Density, so the options should be OD1, OD2 etc.
