How to Set Up a Scanning Source
Abstract
With the scanning source in VirtualLab Fusion, it is possible to define a multi-mode source that radiates into different pre-defined directions. The scanning source can be used, e.g., in a laser scanning system for analyzing the performance under different scanning angle, or in an imaging system for the modeling of certain field of view. Together with Parameter Run, the directions/angles can be scanned in different modes, and one can define it flexibly for specific applications.

How to Set Up a Panel-Type Source
With the panel-type source in VirtualLab it is possible to model a pixelated display, with the pixel pitch and the number of pixels as free parameters for the user to fix.
Use Case
Performance Evaluation of an F-Theta Scanning Lens
With the scanning source in VirtualLab Fusion, we analyze the performance of an F-Theta lens, by measuring the focal spot position deviation and the spot size for different scan angles.
