Precision 2-D Laser Scanning:

Overview and Applications

William G. Jansma, Kurt Goetz

Argonne National Laboratory

 In 2010 a novel method for laser scanning of two-dimensional (2-D) profiles was developed at Argonne National Laboratory, and was presented at CMSC2011. Since that time the 2-D coordinate measurement method has been improved and adapted for other specialized applications, including measurement of thermal shift in superconducting devices, and profiling ultra-fine detail in a corrugated RF waveguide structure. This paper describes the evolution and improvements in 2-D laser scanning hardware, controls and data acquisition/processing methods as well as applications for the devices.
