Laser Controller to the Lasers.
At this point you should have two lasers temperature stabilized and running at their operating current.
The two lasers should be within a few GHz of the same frequency of each other. (If unsure of the laser
frequency, you can use a spectroscopy module to get one laser on transition and then temporarily
move the spectroscopy module to the other laser to get it near the same transition.)

  • Page 2 Aim for 500 μW of power although a few hundred microwatts should be sufficient. detector in the D2-160 or D2-135-FC can be damaged by more than 1 mW input power, so be careful not to couple in too much light.
  • Page 3 D2-135.) Connect the Ramp TTL on the D2-135 to the trigger on your O-scope and view the Error In Monitor to the O-scope. Set the D2-135 to N=16, VCO Low mode, put the Servo in Ramp mode and by tweaking the laser current, you should see the Error In Monitor look something like what is shown in figure...
  • Page 4 Center the O-scope on one of shown the lock points and turn down in blue, the ramp amplitude. Flip the D2-135 Servo to Lock mode. If lock the Servo Output jumps to points are shown in red. +/-10V, repeat with the opposite gain sign.
