Installation<br />

CAUTION<br />

It is critical to the performance of the system (and ease of installation)<br />

that you use the rf and photodiode BNC cables provided. The system<br />

was calibrated for the type and length of these cables to provide proper<br />

phase matching between the photodiode and mode locker signals. If rf<br />

and/or photodiode cables other than those shipped with <strong>Tsunami</strong> are<br />

used, an adjustment for cable length is required. Refer to chapter 6,<br />

"Alignment: Coarse Phase Adjustment ..."<br />

6. Connect a second BNC cable to the mode locker connector (ML) on the<br />

laser head input bezel (Figure 4-3), and the other end to the MODE<br />

LOCKER connector on the rear of the Model 3955.<br />

7. Connect the ac power cord to the back of the Model 3955.<br />

This completes the installation of the Model 3955 electronics module.<br />

Installing the GTI<br />

(ps configuration)<br />

For a ps system, you must install the GTI prior to operating your laser the<br />

first time (refer to Figure 5-4). If you purchased a Model 3960 fs-only<br />

laser, skip this GTI installation procedure; a high reflector is already<br />

installed in your system.<br />

DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE<br />

The pc board on the floor of the laser head contains high voltage for<br />

driving the GTI. Verify the Model 3955 electronics module is ofSto disable<br />

this board before continuing.<br />

1. Remove the GTI from its shipping container and inspect it for damage.<br />

2. Install the GTI into the laser head (Figure 5-4).<br />

The GTI installs into the MI mirror plate from the input bezel side.<br />

a. Turn the D-shaped cam lock washers under the three screws so the<br />

flat sides face the mounting hole and permit the GTI to slide in.<br />

b. Pull the gray cable from the GTI through first before installing<br />

the GTI.<br />

c. Set the GTI into the mounting hole, and push it all the way in until<br />

the shoulder ring seats against the mount.<br />

d. Rotate the GTI so the gold connector is accessible on the lower<br />

side. A cable will be attached later.<br />

e. Turn the cam locks around so the round portion of the washer captures<br />

the GTI shoulder ring, and tighten the screws.
