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.

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.
