below, for wide and narrow spans. These traces were obtained with
an 8 cm long Rb vapour cell at room temperature, using a Zeeman
modulation coil as described in appendix C.
To operate in
AC
locking configuration:
1. Select
AC
locking by setting internal
DIP
switch
7
to
OFF
.
2. Connect the diode,
TEC
and temperature sensor as above. Also
connect a two-channel oscilloscope to the
CHANNEL A, B
and
TRIG
outputs.
3. Connect the photodetector module and optimise the photosig-
nal on
CHANNEL A
. The
MOG
labs
DLC
is designed to operate
best with about 250
µ
W incident on the Si-PIN photodiode.
Lensed and filtered photodiodes are standard, to remove most
background light, and when
AC
locking at 250 kHz modula-
tion frequency, any remaining photocurrent from background
lighting should not be a problem.
