Page 1: ... the laser frequency you can use a spectroscopy module to get one laser on transition and then temporarily move the spectroscopy module to the other laser to get it near the same transition D2 250 or D2 150 Alignment This section assumes you are using the D2 150 Heterodyne Module to obtain an optical beat note between two lasers If you have obtained an optical beat note by other methods please ski...

Page 2: ...see how well that light gets back to the laser Adjust the same beam splitter so the light is aimed directly at the laser source This should get the alignment close enough to measure the power in the fiber to use for further optimization Aim for 500 μW of power although a few hundred microwatts should be sufficient The detector in the D2 160 or D2 135 FC can be damaged by more than 1 mW input power so...
