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

    Kvant spol. s.r.o. Spectrum series - v16816 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 10: Control System

    Spectrum series - v16816 Control System The overall performance of any KVANT laser system is also dependent on the control system that you use for operating the laser as well as the correct device configuration in the laser control software.

  • Page 11: Scanning System

    Kvant spol. s.r.o. Spectrum series - v16816 Scanning System The product warranty does not cover the damages to the scanning system caused by improper use of the scanning system or by incorrect programming. Therefore it is essential to understand how the scanning works and where are the limits of it. In this manual we will explain only the basics of it but it is the responsibility of every user to educate themselves so they can avoid damage being caused to the scanning system and costly repairs.

  • Page 26: Beam Alignment

    Kvant spol. s.r.o. Spectrum series - v16816 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 27 Kvant spol. s.r.o. Spectrum series - v16816 nicely while they hit exact centre of the bottom scanning mirror. An easiest way to do the alignment is to project a full size circle onto a wall (or any another suitable projection surface), change its colour as necessary and check the alignment of individual colours on both X and Y axes.

    Kvant spol. s.r.o. Spectrum series - v16816 Beam Alignment [Spectrum 20 | 20 LD] Please note that if you opted for Motorised Dichroic Filters when purchasing this laser display system, the beam (colour) alignment is done via special utility in projector settings in Pangolin Beyond.
  • Page 29 Kvant spol. s.r.o. Spectrum series - v16816 If not, use dichroic mounts DF2 to adjust the beam path accordingly (diagram below). To adjust the dichroic mount use the two adjustment knobs – each works for one axis. 7. Create a cyan beam effect (point) and check visually whether the green beam hits the exact centre of the blue beam at the dichroic filter DF4.
