NanoScan bas bccomc the de facto standard for measuring spatial beam properties of conlinuous wave lasers. Their measurement values have been independently verified to be accurate to better than ±2%. Yet the rcliancc on thèse précise mcasurcmcnts indicalcs the need to ensure that NanoScan opérations are problem-free and that tbe units continue lo provide accurate measurements over time. So, Pholon offers unsurpassed service support that includes cahbration service and a toll-frcc hollinc. Photon prides itsclf on the reliability of our instruments, which is the reason NanoScan's prcciirsor BcamScan became the industry standard for beam diagnostics. Our proprietary, phase-locked-loop (PLL) design ensures built-in cahbration, which is why there arc BeamScan units built in 1984 that continue to provide accurate beam width values. The DC molor used in NanoScans is designed to last indefinitely. It*s rated at 10.000 ipm, but opérâtes at only 600 ipin (10 Hz). The motor is so smooth and quiet that people standing near the operating instrument have askcd, "What type of airay detector do you use?** (Array detectors are CCD or CID devices that pick up the entire beam without mechauical motion; they typically lack the resolution of scanning aperture instruments). Since tbe exact effects of time and operating environments arc unknown, Photon offers a comprehensive cahbration service during which wc dclcrmine a unif s reliability. Our faclory-trained technicians will compare your instrument to Photon* s standards at the time of its manufacture, verifying the beam diameter readings and tracking performance over time. Scan Hoad Lcdcirg Scrcw witi During the optional calibration procédure we: ♦ Clean the scan head aperture (dust and environmental contaminâtes affect performance) ♦ Check for uniformity of the scan head detector ♦ Perform mirror electronîcs upgrade and repair ♦ Place a calibration service label on the instrument to indicate when the next service is due. ♦ Provide a "Cerlificate of Calibration" verifying the performance of your NanoScan. When you pure hase a laser beam profiler front Photon, such as a NanoScan, we want you to feel confident that it was the right décision for many years to corne. Technical assistance will always be as casy as calling 1.800.374.6866 (U.S. only). Wc continue to service units that were manufactured when Photon began in 1984, and we arc committed to being around a long time to service your instrument—should you requit it. Photon Inc. BQ11008729
