Aligning the Combiner Optical Path
This section outlines the basic steps of laser combiner alignment. For more detailed discussion of optical
alignment techniques see Section 10 : Principle of laser beam alignment .
WARNING – Keep the C-FLEX shutter closed when placing or removing components or
equipment from the beam path.
NOTICE – The alignment accuracy can be improved by using a CCD or beam profiler at 1 meter
from the aperture.
1. Turn all lasers OFF with the key switch.
2. Remove lid by unscrewing the four screws on the side.
3. If present, remove the fiber coupler from the C-FLEX aperture.
4. Use the safety interlock override tool to close the interlock circuit with magnetic switches. The override
tool has been designed in such a way that the access panel may not be put back onto the C-FLEX with
the override in place. The interlock override tool should be placed 1 cm from the edge of the side wall.
WARNING – When
the access panel is removed the safety interlock circuit will be open and
prevent emission. Contact a laser safety officer about handling, safety measures and safe
service procedures before using the interlock override.
5. Turn all lasers ON with the key switch. Wait at least 3 minutes for the lasers to complete warm up.
6. Open the Cobolt Monitor software to control the emission of each laser line individually.
