Fig. 1.1: The laser kit configuration block scheme for experiments
Components on the scheme on fig. 1.1 are marked: 1 – He-Ne laser, 2 – aperture, 3 – prism, 4 – resonator back mirror (100% reflectivity), 5 – aperture, 6 – laser crystal, 7 – resonator output mirror, 8, 9, 10 – beam splitter, energy meter, photodiode (these accessories are not on the draw), 11 – LIF crystal for passive Q-switching, 12 – amplifier laser crystal, 13 – KDP crystal, 14 – filter absorbing 1.06 μm. (experiments start without crystal 11)
Set up the center of laser crystal into the He-Ne laser beam.
