    1. Safety requirements • All safety instructions must be followed. • All rules and regulations concerning the safe operation of lasers must be known and applied while installing and operating motorised rotator. • Even when wearing safety glasses avoid eye contact with direct or scattered laser light while assembling, installing and operating the device.
  • Page 5: Operation Principle

    2. Operation principle MRO is a compact motorised rotator which is based on the LPA platform. It comes with external controller (SMC) and a wave-plate. There are two standard options: • ZO L/2 wave-plate (zero-order half wave-plate). This setup is used to shift polarisation direction of linearly polarised light.
