Page 21: Installation
Installation General Install the system modules on a level surface that is free from vibrations. The ambient temperature surrounding any of the optical modules should be stable and free from any sources that could cause temperature fluctuations. Temperature changes and vibrations may affect the laser system’s operation and result in abnormal operation. -
Page 22: Electrical Supply Requirements
Installing the system Electrical supply Supply voltage is 100-240 VAC, maximum 100 W requirements Installing the system The HARMONIK module is designed to be fastened on an optical table with M6 holes spaced apart by 25 mm. Alternatively, the module can be clamped to any table using the four clamp slots available on the left and right panels. -

Page 32: Optimizing The Shg Output - Using Wavelength Control
Using the system Procedure 3: Optimize second harmonic emission level using temperature Turn ON the system, enable emission and wait for the HARMONIK crystal to warm-up until the temperature in the Actual field stabilizes – approximately 5 minutes. 2. Ensure the power level in the Pump Input field is at the desired value. If not, make the necessary changes on either the seed or amplifier lasers of the system or the connecting emission path. -

Using the system a. If the SHG Output decreases- adjust the Setpoint field in the opposite direction. b. If the SHG Output increases – adjust the Setpoint field in the same direction. 6. To reach the optimum setting, continue adjusting the Setpoint field incrementally increasing power up to the point just before the power decreases again. -
