<strong>CNS</strong> <strong>STANDARD</strong> <strong>OPERATING</strong> <strong>PROCEDURE</strong>LZR001, <strong>Two</strong> <strong>Photon</strong> Fluorescence Imaging System5.3.6. Switch the VERDI laser on by turning the key to the “on” position (see Figure 5).5.3.7. The diode pump current on the display will increase. Wait till it reaches a stable valuearound 21 A.5.3.8. Make sure that “cw” mode is selected on the Ti:Sa controller (Figure 6 left).5.3.9. Also make sure that the relative humidity in the cavity is < ~ 15% (Figure 6). Contact<strong>CNS</strong> personnel, if the value is larger.5.3.10. Press the “Shutter open” button on the Verdi laser controller (Figure 5 right) and wait~15 minutes for the laser to stabilize. The current will jump to 25 A.power readinghumidityTotal power & cw portioncw modeFigure 6: Ti:Sa controller: cw mode (left), modelocked (pulsing) mode (right)end mirrorcontrols (fs mode)end mirrorcontrols (ps mode)Tuning logPrism positioncontrolwavelength selectionmicrometerOutput couplercontrolsFigure 7: Ti:Sa laser cavity controls.SOP107Revision: 0.4Page 10 of 18 Effective Date: 04-13-2011
