Alignment<br />
This chapter contains several alignment procedures for the <strong>Tsunami</strong> laser.<br />
A Spectra-Physics <strong>Laser</strong>s service representative will perform the initial<br />
cavity alignment and cleaning when he installs your new laser. Thereafter,<br />
there should be little need to do a full alignment. The "Cavity Alignment"<br />
section below is provided in the event a gross misalignment has occurred<br />
and your system is out of warranty. Allow only qualified personnel to<br />
align your laser.<br />
The sections covering conversions between overlapping and non-overlapping<br />
optics sets describe how to change from one set to the other and how<br />
to perform a minimum realignment to use the new optics. Also included<br />
are sections that describe how to convert your system between ps and fs<br />
configurations.<br />

CAUTION<br />
Ifyour laser meets specifiedpowel; do notpe$onn this procedure. This<br />
section is provided in the event a gross misalignment has occurred.<br />
Only personnel authorized and trained by Spectra-Physics <strong>Laser</strong>s<br />
should attempt it.<br />
CA UTlON<br />
Do not move any mirror mounts until specifically told to do so. Do not<br />
change the configuration of the laser at this time, and do not move mirrors<br />
M4 or M5-you might loose all reference. Instead, first, align the<br />
laser as is, then change its configuration afterward if you wish, following<br />
the instructions later in this chapter.
