Chapter 3 Introduction Thorlabs’ ODL100-FS(/M) Free-Space Optical Delay Line Kit offers customers a tested set of Thorlabs components to build an optical delay line. The kit is based on our DDSM100(/M) long-travel, low-profile direct drive stage, and is capable of tuning the optical delay up to 666.6 ps. Repeatable delay shifts down to 3.3 femtoseconds are achievable. -

Optical Delay Line Chapter 4: Setup and Alignment Chapter 4 Setup and Alignment WARNING Infrared laser beams are particularly dangerous because they cannot be seen. Always wear appropriate laser safety glasses (not included) when working with laser beams. The kit includes a DDSM100(/M) Linear Direct Drive Stage, an RS99(/M) Periscope Assembly, a V-block with two pairs of built-in kinematic adjusters, two MH25 Mirror Holders for attaching mirrors to the V-block, two SM05D5D Ring-Actuated Irises, two removable FT-SM05 Mounting Bases for attaching the irises to the V-block, four Ø1”... - Page 7 Optical Delay Line Chapter 4: Setup and Alignment Periscope Assembly 1. Attach the top and bottom unit of the periscope to the Ø1” pillar post. The pieces tighten against the post using brass-tipped 1/4"-20 (M6) setscrews. 2. Install the Ø1” mirrors into the periscope. They are each secured by a nylon-tipped 8-32 (M4) setscrew. 3.
- Page 8 1. Connect the DDSMA1 mounting plate to the DDSM100(/M) delay stage. It attaches using two M3 cap screws (included). The same mounting plate is used for ODL100-FS and ODL100-FS/M. The adapter needs to be mounted on the side where the drive cables exit the stage.

Page 9: Chapter 5 Software Package
We have implemented a GUI for the ODL100-FS to read the current stage position; control the stage position, speed, and acceleration; and execute scan sequences. With this software, it is possible to precisely choose the optical delay you wish to add or subtract from your beam path. - Page 10 Optical Delay Line Chapter 5: Software Package Figure 4 Operational Panel To adjust the delay, simply use the slider arrows or type in the desired delay in millimeters (from 0 – 100 mm) or in picoseconds (from 0 ps to 666.6 ps) in the Manual Move Panel. You may also right-click on the slider bar to bring up the screen shown in Figure 6 shown on Page 11.

- Page 12 Optical Delay Line Chapter 5: Software Package Delay Scan Scans can be initiated over a user-defined range from the current stage position. The stage is moved in incremental, user-defined steps, measuring the response as a function of delay. Below are shown the user- configurable delay scan parameters.
