Abstract: A two dimensional scanning laser system may automatically detect a laser, then align and calibrate itself to scan over the sensor area. The system may have a laser with a controller that may cause the laser to be directed over two dimensions, as well as a sensor apparatus. The laser may be controlled with a mirror system that may pivot in two directions, thus allowing the laser to be scanned over a two dimensional area. The sensor may be a point sensor, where the laser may be positioned in a constant direction, as well as a larger area sensor where the laser may be moved across the sensor area to detect objects in a two or three dimensional space. An alignment and calibration sequence may cause the laser to scan across its operational area and detect the location of one or more sensors.

Abstract: A sensor for a laser may contain an at least partially transparent plastic with a fluorescent material that receives laser light at one frequency and creates light inside the transparent plastic with a second, different frequency. The light at the second frequency may travel through the plastic to an electronic sensor mounted against the transparent plastic. The sensor may be several feet in length or longer and still detect a single impinging Class I or Class II laser beam. In systems where the position of the laser may be known, a set of linear gain coefficients may be determined to calibrate the electronic sensor, as the signal strength of a received signal may decay with the distance from the electronic sensor to the location where the laser beam impinges the plastic element.
