Troubleshooting
Error characteristics
Possible reason
Check and removal
No SHG Signal
wrong polarization direction
check for horizontal polarization;
introduce a polarization rotator into
the input beam, if necessary
wrong alignment
check beam position at input
aperture;
check back re ection at control
window;
check "FOCUS" position;
check phase matching
no input pulses or pulses too long
check with an independent method
(fast photodiode, spectral width etc.)
input power too small
compare with sensitivity
speci cations
delay zero position outside of
check at wider scan ranges;
scan range
check and correct for delay
"zero" position (see test report)
No clear ACF
wrong scan range
check at wider scan ranges
no input pulses or pulses too long
check with an independent method
(fast photodiode, spectral width etc.)
SHG Signal
non-collinear case
wrong alignment of beam on
check with shutters (if it reacts to
w / o ACF peak
detector
each of the shutters);
realign input beam in horizontal
direction only
collinear case
wrong "FOCUS" position
check and correct for "FOCUS"
position
Delay zero position outside of
check at wider scan ranges;
scan range
check and correct for delay "0"
position (see test report)
