Tsunami - Beckman Institute Laser Resource Center

Installation
DANGER: LASER RADIATION
The pump laser is a Class IV High Power Laser. Always wear proper
eye protection and follow the safety precautions in chapter 2, "Laser
Safety."
b. Secure the locking nuts on the feet. Refer to your user's manual.
c. Clamp the laser to the table using the foot clamps provided with
the pump laser.
6. Close the pump laser shutter.
This completes the installation of the pump laser.
Initial Placement of the Tsunami Laser Head
1. Place the Tsunami laser head on the table parallel to the pump laser as
shown in Figure 5-1, and position the Tsunami so that the input
window is roughly in the same plane as the output window of the
pump laser. Then center the input window over the row of table
mounting holes that is about 46 cm from the row of holes the pump
laser was centered on earlier.
2. Remove the Tsunami laser head cover.
a. Pull outward on the bottom of each of the four cover latches until
it snaps.
b. Press downward on the cover to release the pressure on the
latches, then pull the top portion of the latch from the notch in the
cover.
c. Use the slotted finger grips at each end of the cover (Figure 4-1)
and remove the cover from the laser.
The shutter will close automatically when the cover is removed.
3. Adjust the Tsunami laser head height.
a. Loosen the locking nut on each foot.
The nuts are threaded onto each leg and jam against the bottom
of the base plate to lock the foot in place and to add stiffness to
the foot.
b. Inside the laser head, use a 5/32 in. Allen (hex) wrench to adjust
the feet so the vertical center of the input window is 14.5 cm
above the table and the base plate is parallel to the table top.
c. Tighten the locking nuts.
This completes the initial placement of the Tsunami laser.
