Now is the time to leave the world of deconvoluted beam profiling with slit scanners and goniometers behind.
Enter the new world of true Nanometric Beam Profiling with simultaneous topographical positioning.

A Breakthrough in Profiling Technology
The Nanonics 3D Near-field beam profiler brings to the market, for the first time, a profiler able to produce actual, high precision, 50 nm optical resolution, without deconvolution. Today, 3D profiles of even the most complex of beam structures can be generated for optimal alignment. Such resolutions can be obtained from the near-field to the far-field with overlapping fields of view. The Nano3D beam profiler is based upon our patented cantilevered optical fibers with no inteference from out-of-focus light. In combination with our unique 3D FlatScan scanner allows three dimensional profiling of both passive (eg. AWGs—arrayed wave guides) and active light sources (eg. VCSELs, LEDs). Such divergent sources can be profiled with unprecedented error free resolution without distortions in the near and far-field.
Unprecidented Ultra Resolution
Ultra resolution beam size can now be correlated with accurate topographic positioning for beams under 100microns. The Nano3D Beam profiler produces simultaneous nanometric resolution topography overlaid with optical distribution. With a lensless archetecture of there can be no non-uniformities or astigmatisms in profiling. The Nano3D makes direct measurements in the near-field so no deconvolution is necessary, there are no errors due to complex beam structures, detector saturation or beam attenuation.
Analyze complex beam profiles with topography from active sources such as DFB Lasers at a variety of injection currents.
