  • Page 6: What Is A Laser And How Does It Work

    Kvant Lasers s.r.o. Burstberry - 1 2.1. What is a laser and how does it work? What is a LASER? The laser is a bunch of energy waves (streams of photons called radiation) with the same amplitude and faze that are flowing in the same direction; meaning they are coherent – they stick together and form a laser beam.

  • Page 27: Beam Alignment

    Kvant Lasers s.r.o. Burstberry - 1 6. Beam Alignment It is possible that due to transportation, rigging, moving around or vibrations caused by various elements during a set up or laser performance some of the internal optical parts can move slightly resulting in colour misalignment.
  • Page 28 Kvant Lasers s.r.o. Burstberry - 1 Beam alignment principle. There are three laser modules within this system where each module produces one of the basic RGB colours (red, green or blue). The goal of the alignment procedure is to align all three beams (colours) so they overlay each other nicely while they hit exact centre of the bottom scanning mirror.
  • Page 29: Beam Alignment

    Kvant Lasers s.r.o. Burstberry - 1 6.1. Beam Alignment 1. Loosen 2 silver bolts that hold down the colour alignment mechanism cover and remove the cover. 2. Power up the system as normal. 3. Firstly, it is necessary to align a colour with the longest beam path between the laser module output and the scanning system in a way so it hits the exact centre of the bottom scanning mirror –...
  • Page 30 Kvant Lasers s.r.o. Burstberry - 1 Always loosen one of the screws in the pair first, before tightening the 2nd one down. All alignment screws A,B,C and D must be fastened at the end of each beam alignment procedure. Even if only one of them is loose, there will be not enough internal pressure on the pivoting bolt (E), which may result into misalignment of respective colour.
  • Page 31: Operation Instructions

    Burstberry - 1 7. Operation Instructions Burstberry is based on FB4 and can be controlled in three ways. Art-Net, Autoplay and Beyond/QS. Art-Net FB4 uses for its functionality maximum 39 DMX channels (FB4 mode). There is also blinder LED and grating wheel installed in Burstberry.
