Model A - Polygon Scan Head This compact, low cost, Polygon Scan Head is designed for laser cleaning and surface treatment on a moving target. It is light enough for handheld use. It is compact enough to fit in…
Gecko-45-HSS is a 45,000 RPM polygon laser scanner with a 4.5 mm aperture. It has a linear scan speed up to 12KHz. High speed, combined with a 20 degree scan angle, are ideal for many biomedical applications including: Ophthalmology; Microscopy;…
DoveTM is an 8000 RPM polygon laser scanner with a 15 mm aperture. In material processing applications it has a multi-kilowatt laser damage threshold. Its size and speed make it also suitable for LIDAR, inspection, imaging and other high-speed raster…
Many optics, including polygon mirrors, have a spec on surface figure within a defined area known as the Clear Aperture. Many optic manufacturing processes result in a roll-off area at the edge of the optic. The roll-off edge of a…
Polygon scanners can scan at hundreds of meters / second and have a high laser damage threshold which makes them ideal for high speed laser cleaning. The new Gecko-5-HP1 is the first compact polygon scanner designed for high power laser…
Polygon scanners can move a laser beam > 10x faster than a galvanometer scanner. The simplest implementation of a polygon scanner is a very fast line scan across a moving target. In applications like laser cleaning or surface treatment, a…
Autonomous Vehicles require long range, high resolution LIDAR at highway speeds for navigation and collision avoidance. This requires a large aperture and high speed scanning. Polygon scanners meet all these requirements but a large aperture polygon scanner might not fit…
Autonomous vehicles may be equipped with a variety of sensors to determine their location and surroundings. Sensors commonly include GPS, Inertial Navigation System, cameras, radar and LIDAR (Laser Radar). LIDAR has higher resolution than conventional RF radar and can see…
If you are designing or evaluating a LIDAR system you might be interested in this free calculator to quickly determine the resolution at distance. It will be handy if you have a collision avoidance requirement for an autonomous vehicle and…
