285 nm-Laser (S-MOT)

The 285 nm Laser consists of a two-stage frequency doubled, raman-fiber-amplifier MOPA. The raman-fiber-amplifier is seeded by a diode laser. * Laser-Diode current: .. mA * Seed power (is displayed in the FLPM RMU CCT 1.1.0.0 program): ~ 20 mW

• Enable main-switch. Set key to standby.
• Wait for the LED to change the color from orange to green to orange (~15 seconds after turning on). Turn the key now.
• Start the program FLPM RMU CCT 1.1.0.0 and select the checkbox of Laser Enable.
• The Power Setpoint must stay at 0.500 W
  • Optimize fiber coupling to Iodine Spectroscopy. Transfer-efficiency > 70%
• Change Power Setpoint for 285nm SHG operation
  • 2 - 2.500 W for 100-150 mW directly after 285 nm SHG.
  • Do not exceed much more than 3.5 W

1. S-MOT-Laser connected
2. start DigiLock - SN 01265 - S-MOT-Laser: double click on S-MOT-Laser
   1. push “Scan on”
   2. push “AutoLock”
   3. change the “Offset Value” to 0 V
   4. change the “Setpoint” (under “AutoLock”) of max slop of the middle peak
   5. Push “PID: Lock to Slop”

The system was build by Jan Friebe and is described in his diplomathesis.
