Using the NanoScan Slit Profiler

See for yourself how easy it is to use a NanoScan to measure your laser beam. This 3-minute video shows the NanoScan profiling both a HeNe and a high power laser.

Why Measure Your Laser Beam?

This tutorial is presented by Ophir-Spiricon sales engineers - the experts in the field of measuring lasers and in helping you get the most out of your laser beam.

Fundamentals of Laser Measurement & Beam Profiling

Is your laser's beam profile shaped correctly for your application? This video teaches the fundamentals of laser beam profiles and discusses the benefits of profiling your laser beam. Several case studies are presented showing before and after laser beam profiles.

Laser Measurement Solutions for High Power Industrial Laser Applications

Modern production facilities must constantly increase throughput, at less cost, with less scrap, and with minimum downtime. In this video overview, you will learn how application of new, advanced technology in measurement devices, can help both designers and users of industrial laser systems to optimize and control their processes, so they can accomplish these goals and achieve consistently good results – both in quality and quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

When in the laser life cycle is the M² measurement the most important?
Answer
M² measurement is important if the stability of your laser is important to your process. Taking M² measurements on a frequent basis allows you to see if your laser is stable from time to time. If the results of the M² measurement fluctuate and a noticeable change happens over time, this could help identify problems with consistency in the laser and help prevent negative results to your process where the laser is being utilized.

Why doesn’t the NanoModeScan “ModeScan Configuration” program remember the COM setting?
Answer
It has been observed that on networked computers with security, that in order to keep the COM setting in the NanoModeScan “ModeScan Configuration” program persistent, it needs to be launched with a right-mouse-key-click and select “Run as administrator” in order for it to work OK.

Why does my profile work well while running the NanoScan software but the profile diminishes in the NanoModeScan software?
Answer
The NanoScan software starts at a rotation frequency of 10 Hz while the NanoModeScan starts at a rotation frequency of 20 Hz. At the frequency of 20 Hz, less signal is getting to the detector because of the speed of the slit passing over the detector. This makes it look like you are not getting as strong of signal. The NanoModeScan starts at this higher rotation frequency because the NanoScan is meant to pass through the focus of the beam, making the power or energy density higher. This higher power or energy density can over-saturate the NanoScan at 10 Hz.

Can the NanoModeScan software export 2D/3D images?
Answer
The 2D and 3D profiles are NOT exportable.The NanoScan and NanoModeScan's 2D and 3D images are not actual 2D and 3D profiles of the beam. They are mathematically generated profiles calculated from the 1D profile information. Thus they are not completely accurate profiles.

Can a NanoModeScan unit be triggered to capture a pulsed source?
Answer
The NanoScan can capture a high repitition rate pulsed laser source but it can not be triggered from the laser itself. To capture a pulsed source on the NanoScan you must choose one of the pulsed settings under the Capture tab. The laser pulse rate must also be greater than 100 kHz.

Can you change the rotation frequency of the NanoModeScan?
Answer
You can change the rotation frequency of the NanoModeScan. You can choose any of the speeds available in the NanoScan software in the NanoModeScan software. As a default, the NanoModeScan starts at the 20 Hz rate.

I’ve acquired a NanoModeScan system and I’m trying to operate it on a Windows 10 computer, but it is not working. Why not?
Answer
The NanoModeScan systems are not compatible with Windows 10. The software has not been updated yet to support Windows 10. The NanoScan that came with it, though, is supported on Windows 10 64-bit through the NanoScan V2 software. The connection to move the scan head down the rail does not work with Windows 10 yet.

What wavelength can the NanoModeScan measure?
Answer
The wavelengths that can be measured with the NanoModeScan are limited by the NanoScan detector that is used.
- The Silicon NanoScan’s can measure wavelengths from 190 – 1,100nm
- The Germanium NanoScan’s can measure wavelengths from 700 – 1,800nm
- The Pyroelectric NanoScan’s can measure wavelengths from 190 – 20,000nm

Does the NanoModeScan operate with Windows 10?
Answer
Users may find that the NanoScan v2 application and the provided USB to RS-232 serial converters are Windows 10 compatible, however, the NanoModeScan systems are not compatible with Windows 10 operating system. The software has not been updated yet to support Windows 10. The NanoScan that came with it, though, is supported on Windows 10 64-bit through the NanoScan V2 software. The connection to move the scan head down the rail does not work with Windows 10 yet.
