<strong>Tsunami</strong><br />

Figure 6-18: Pr1/Pr4 prisms showing placement of beam. Refer to<br />

Table 6-4 for the value of x.<br />

17. Adjust MI, then M1 0, for maximum output power (peak the laser).<br />

Refer to chapter 7, "Operation: Optimizing <strong>Laser</strong> Output."<br />

18. Install the tuning slit assembly.<br />

a. Close the shutter.<br />

WARNING<br />

To avoid damaging nearby optics when installing the slit, carefully<br />

move it into place and use your hand to support it while you tighten the<br />

mounting setscrew.<br />

b. Place the tuning slit assembly into the laser head and onto the micrometer<br />

shaft. Refer to Figure 6-10.<br />

c. Rotate the slit width adjustment screw until the dowel pin on the<br />

mating shaft can slide into the slot.<br />

d. Seat the slit assembly against the micrometer stop.<br />

e. Tighten the setscrew that holds the slit assembly on the shaft.<br />

f. Open the shutter.<br />

g. Venfy the slit opening is in the beam path.<br />

h. Adjust MI and M10 for maximum output power.<br />

19. Tune the slit for the desired wavelength.<br />

-- "-<br />

Refer to chapter 7, "Operation: Selecting Wavelength, fs Configuration."<br />

20. If changing from < 900 to > 900 nm, or vice versa, you need to<br />

change the photodiode pc board. Refer to "Aligning the Photodiode<br />

PC Board" earlier in this chapter.<br />

21. Re-enable the AOM by pressing the STATUS mode locker enable<br />

button.<br />

22. Mode lock the <strong>Tsunami</strong> laser.
