Fabry-Perot Interferometer Chapter 3: Description Chapter 3 Description The SA210 is a high finesse Spectrum Analyzer used to examine the fine structures of the spectral characteristics of CW lasers. The spectrum analyzer consists of a confocal cavity that contains two high reflectivity mirrors; by varying the mirror separation with a piezoelectric transducer the cavity acts as a very narrow band-pass filter.
Fabry-Perot Interferometer Chapter 4: Fabry-Perot Interferometry Chapter 4 Fabry-Perot Interferometry 4.1. Free Spectral Range To scan the spectra of the laser beam entering the Scanning Fabry–Perot interferometer small displacement is applied to one of the cavity mirror mounted on piezoelectric transducers. This operation is done by fine tuning the ramp voltage applied to the Piezoelectric elements using the controller SA201.
An offset control is provided to allow the spectrum displayed on the oscilloscope to be shifted right or left, zoom capability provides up to 100X increase in spectral resolution. Thorlabs’ KM100, Ø2" kinematic mount can be used to mount the SA210 Scanning Fabry Perot ...
Note: A saw tooth wave (0 - 20 V) would provide approximately 2 FSR. The SA210 should be mounted, so that it can be easily adjusted. It is recommended that Thorlabs 1-inch Kinematic Mount KM100 be used to mount the interferometer at the 1-inch diameter flange.
Alignment To set up the SA210 Series Fabry-Perot, first mount the unit into a tip/tilt mirror mount (item # KM100). Attach all of the connections according the drawing on page 6. Next, remove the detector from the back of the unit and mount it in a separate mount;...
Waste Treatment is Your Own Responsibility If you do not return an “end of life” unit to Thorlabs, you must hand it to a company specialized in waste recovery. Do not dispose of the unit in a litter bin or at a public waste disposal site.
