Recommended Setup For SA200 Interferometers Except SA200-30C The SA200 should be mounted in a Ø2" kinematic mirror mount, such as Thorlabs' KM200, so that it can be easily adjusted. In many applications, it is useful to direct the beam into the Fabry-Perot interferometer with the use of a mirror in a kinematic mirror mount, on a flip platform mount.
SA201 controller. For details on the use of the PDAVJ5, please refer to its manual, which can be found on the Thorlabs website. Due to saturation effects of the diode inside the PDAVJ5 detector, the optical power entering the SA200-30C should be kept below 200 µW in order to avoid saturation.
Fabry-Perot Interferometer Chapter 4: Setup and Procedures Use the mirror mount's tip/tilt adjustment until the beam is centered through the body of the SA200, i.e. until you start to see modes on the oscilloscope. Slowly close the back iris while adjusting the mirror mount to keep the beam in the center of the device.
