    -absorption line Usually this is achieved by using a relatively complex opto-mechanical setup. The truly compact CoSy system contains this setup and also all the evaluation electronics needed to obtain a Doppler free saturation spectrum as an output voltage directly observable e.g. on an oscilloscope. The Laser irradiating the System can thus be stabilised to any of the detected lines.
  • Page 5 CoSy measurement head. Fig. 1.3 The CoSy measurement head from the inside For operation a free laser beam is directed into the Cosy measurement head where it is split several times in order to traverse the glass cell on different paths, falling onto three different photo diodes.

    391,016 THz The laser beam should have a diameter of 3mm and the laser power should be as given in Tab.7.1.The spectral resolution and the signal to noise ratio of the CoSy system depend on the laser power. If the laser beam profile is elliptic,(e. g. by a laser diode) the large axis of the ellipse should be 3mm in diameter.

    If you wish, see chapter 5 first for easy optical adjustment. As the signals generated in the CoSy measurement head depend on the local magnetic flux density, the head must be positioned far enough from magnetised objects such as magnets, optical isolators, etc.

    • Fix a straight metal bar with rectangular cross-section to the table for a physical reference line. • Put the CoSy head flat on the table, the lower edge of one of the long sides coinciding with the reference line (position a).

    (see Tab. 2.1: absorption wavelength of certain alkali metals). Synchronise the trigger for the oscilloscope´s horizontal coordinate with the frequency modulation of your laser. (If this is TOPTICA´s DL100 diode laser, connect the trigger output of the scan generator SC110 to the oscilloscopes trigger input.)

    Now unblock the laser beam. The “I” output of CoSyControl should now show a constant voltage well between +1V and +10V. If not, change the gain by the range switch on the CoSy measurement head such that the voltage is in this range. (By turning the switch clockwise, the sensitivity of the measurement head and thus the “I”...

    CoSy head relative to the magnetic field of the earth. If you wish to see the undisturbed spectrum, remove the magnetic elements causing the field or else compensate for it. The version “Coil” of the CoSy- system is useful here.

    The center position corresponds to temperature of 45°C. Please note that the CoSy head is equipped with a cell heater, which will not be able to reduce the temperature to a value below room temperature. If the degree of absorption is already higher than 60% at the given room temperature, ask for a CoSy-system containing a shorter cell.
