Melles Griot shear plate collimation testers can be used to set the divergence/convergence of a laser collimating system to less than 20 mrad (full angle). These testers can also be used to measure wavefront radius of curvature, determine wavefront symmetry, and measure the power of long-focal-length optics. $ Testers can be used at all wavelengths in the visible spectrum. Lasers $ They test collimation at beam diameters from 5 to 85 mm. diverging collimated converging $ Both 1/4-20 and M6 threaded mounting holes are included. beam beam beam Ion and Helium Cadmium $ The beam is collimated when the fringes are parallel to the Fringe orientation with respect to reference line reference line. Each shear plate module consists of a wedged, uncoated optical flat mounted in a black aluminum cube complete with high-visibility SHEAR-PLATE THEORY viewing screen, and a collimation reference line. To collimate an expanded laser beam, the module is inserted in the beam and the A shear plate is a very simple interferometer, i,e, an collimator is adjusted until the fringes observed on the screen are optical arrangement that combines two wavefronts. parallel to the reference line. All Melles Griot shear plate modules Constructive and destructive interference between Helium Neon Lasers follow the same sign convention: a convergent beam produces a the two wavefronts leads to a series of light and dark clockwise rotation of the fringes on the screen relative to the reference fringes, corresponding to in-phase and out-of-phase line, while a divergent beam produces a counterclockwise rotation portions of the wavefronts.

The uncoated front and rear surfaces generate reflections of almost equal intensity. These reflected wavefronts are said to be “laterally sheared,” i.e., offset with respect to each other, Diode Laser Assemblies because of the finite thickness of the plate. Interference occurs in the region where the wavefronts overlap.

Optical density is wavelength dependent and logarithmic; for every whole number the OD increases, the attenuation increases by a factor of ten. For more detail on optical density, please see Chapter 13, Filters.

SELECTING LASER SAFETY EYEWEAR

Before choosing your safety eyewear, it is necessary to know The exposure time depends on whether a laser is operating the laser’s output wavelength(s) and the class of the laser with a (cw), a single- pulse, or a repetitive you will be operating. The classification is determined by the pulse. A laser is considered cw if it operates from

Lasers laser’s potential for hazard. Federal law mandates that the 0.25 seconds to 30,000 seconds. A single pulse laser operates laser classification be provided with the laser (typically with a pulse of less than 0.25 seconds, with a pulse repetition affixed to the laser). The five most common laser rate of less than 1 Hz. A repetitive pulsed laser emits pulses Ion and Helium Cadmium classifications are as follows: each less than 0.25 seconds, at a rate greater than 1 Hz.

Class I Lasers or laser systems that do not, under normal Once you have determined the optical density, you need to operating conditions, pose a hazard. select the style of your eyewear and the visible light transmission that meets your personal requirements.

The laser safety eyewear you choose should have an optical density (OD) specified at the output wavelength of your laser, sufficient to reduce exposure to Class I radiation Laboratory Laboratory levels. OD is governed by the exposure type, the exposure

Diode Laser Drivers time, and the energy output of the laser.

Exposure type is either a diffuse reflection (i.e., a person looking at a laser spot on an alignment card), or an intrabeam exposure, which may occur by accidently looking down the beam path of the laser. 1Laser Institute of America, “Laser Safety Guide”, 9th edition, 1993.
