We recommend using the upgraded magnet laser shroud for ease of mounting and also safety.  The laser is contained in a shielded housing which restricts laser light above an angle of 10 degrees at 2′.  This means that if you are looking down at the laser then you will not see any of the beam artifacts that potentially can cause harm.  This is especially good if you have a shop where people can be walking in without protective eyewear.

All laser diode components are press fit into copper 12mm housings and come mounted in a custom aluminum heat sink fitted with thermal paste for heat dissipation.  The design allows for easy mounting on CNC machine spindle heads or in front of 3D print heads or on their own in a machine.  The diagrams of the heat sink and mounting are found below:

F*tan(theta) calculations are used in camera calibration processes, where distortion parameters are estimated for correcting captured images. Lens designers often utilize F*tan(theta) calculations during the design phase to predict and minimize distortion in the final lens. This helps create lenses with minimal image curvature and ensures accurate image reproduction.

The current setting to keep your laser lasting the full lifetime is listed in the following table along with the expected output power of the laser.

Pincushiondistortion

TV Distortion, as the name suggests, originated in the context of television applications. It can be calculated using the following formula:

F-Theta lenses are specifically designed to maintain a constant image size (or spot size for lasers) across a scan field. The F-Theta calculation helps ensure the accuracy of this constant size by measuring deviations from the ideal. These lenses are used in various applications like laser marking and engraving, laser cutting, 3D printing and LiDAR.

Barrel distortionglasses

A negative value indicates barrel distortion (objects appear smaller towards the edges). In the above example, the calculation shows a higher barrel distortion (-39.5%) at a larger image distance (10mm). As the image distance decreases (9mm and 5mm), the distortion percentages become less negative, indicating a decrease in the barrel effect.

Imagine a scene with a square grid. In barrel distortion, the grid would bulge outwards, making the squares appear wider on the edges. Meanwhile, in pincushion distortion, the grid would sink inwards, making the squares appear narrower on the edges. Mustache distortion would cause the grid lines to become wavy.

Optical distortion represents the overall distortion parameter of the optical system. F-Tan theta or optical distortion can be calculated using the following formula.

The F*tan(theta) method is a more general approach to calculating distortion. It’s often used for initial distortion assessment in various lenses, including photographic lenses. This method helps understand how straight lines deviate from their ideal positions due to distortion.

Pincushiondistortionlens

Lens datasheets often include distortion information to help photographers and engineers understand how the lens behaves. Lens distortion refers to the phenomenon where straight lines in a scene appear curved in the final image. This happens because lenses don’t perfectly focus light from all parts of the field of view.

F(Theta) method focuses on the angular relationship between the ideal undistorted image point and the actual distorted image point without needing magnification information.

The F-Tan (Theta) method uses the tangent function to relate the angle to object size and magnification. Whereas the F(Theta) method focuses on the angular position of the image point relative to the centre. Both the methods require the focal length (F) and the diagonal FOV (degrees). But in the F(Theta) method the FOV in degrees is converted to radians.

Barrel distortioncorrection

The lasers will all have a slightly different spot size at focus.  The smallest is the 405nm laser.  It can make microscopic engravings and super fine details.  The largest is the 4.2W and 7W laser, which can still engrave well, but will not have the detail that the other lasers will without the High Efficiency Lens option.  With the High Resolution lens on the 4.2W and 7W, the spot sizes will be similar to the smaller power lasers.

Barrel distortionexamples

Both methods can be used to estimate distortion, but they can be more applicable in certain situations. F-Tan (Theta) is preferred when the focus is on object size and magnification changes due to distortion. And the F(Theta) method is used to get the angular relationship of distorted image points without needing magnification information.

F-Tan (Theta) method uses the tan(theta) relationship to calculate a reference height based on magnification, and the F(Theta) method uses F*theta (radians) to represent the ideal image point location based on its angular position.

Barrelvs pincushiondistortion

The formula calculates the difference between the expected height of an object based on the sensor size and its actual distorted height based on the distortion values and field of view. This difference is then expressed as a percentage of the vertical sensor size to provide a measure of barrel distortion.

Mathematically, distortion can be represented in three different ways in the lens datasheet; let us look at each of them in detail.

This is the maximum expected output power of the laser at full current levels.  Running at this level will reduce the lifetime of the laser and should only be done with this understanding.   In some cases, this number will also be the same as the recommended.  In those cases, there will be no loss of lifetime on the laser (example is the 4.2W laser and the 1W laser).
