MEMS mirrors vs polygon scanners for LIDAR in autonomous vehicles
LIDAR is Laser Radar LIDAR uses a laser instead of RF energy. The laser is scanned with a mirror instead of an antenna. A polygon scanner offers high speed LIDAR scanning. LIDAR has higher resolution than RF radar. An invisible…
ULTRAFAST CLEANING / SURFACE MODIFICATION @ Hundreds of Meters/Second
In some situations, high power and USP / Ultrafast lasers cannot achieve their full speed potential with galvanometer (galvo) scanners. When scan speeds of hundreds of meters a second are required, a polygon scanner may be the solution. The NEW…
ADVANCED, HIGH SPEED, POLYGON SCANNER CONTROLLER
Precision Laser Scanning offers the most advanced polygon scanner controller available today. Polygon scanners historically run at a single working speed and use a motor controller with a low level TTL system interface. This simple scheme, implemented without a CPU,…
IR DETECTION GLASS – FOR HIGH POWER LASER SYSTEMS
High power 1064 nm lasers have become very popular for material processing. 1064 nm is invisible to the human eye but it is still necessary to have some method to visualize the beam. Coated paper Laser Viewing/Detection Cards block 100%…

GECKO polygon laser scanners are now Off-The-Shelf
High speed polygon scanners are needed when galvanometer scanners are not fast enough. Polygon scanners are typically made to order involving long lead times and high cost due to low volume. Now, Precision Laser Scanning is offering two GECKO polygon…
“Standard” large aperture polygon scanners have short lead time and low price
Material processing, with high power lasers, requires large aperture scanners to focus a large beam to a small spot on target. Imaging applications, including LIDAR, collision avoidance, food product sorting and quality control also require large aperture scanners to collect…
Polygon scanners bring eye safety and new effects to laser light shows
Laser light shows are impressive to watch when projected away from the audience. In some countries, where laser eye safety regulations permit, the laser light show may include scanning the audience. The effect is stunning. However, the high power lasers…
POLYGON SCAN HEAD – BLOCK DIAGRAM
When galvanometer (galvo) scanners are not fast enough, a Polygon Scan Head may be the solution. A Polygon Scan Head can scan at hundreds of meters per second. Here is a block diagram of a single axis Polygon Scan Head. …
