Interferometers
Installation and Alignment
User’s Manual 7O-15
Alignment aid (Agilent Part Number 10706-60001) is the same as one
used on the Agilent 10706B Plane Mirror Interferometer. Refer to the
“Alignment aids” section for the Agilent 10706B Plane Mirror
Interferometer, in subchapter 7C of this manual for a further
discussion of its use.
Alignment aid (Agilent Part Number 10706-60202), shown in
Figure 7O-7, facilitates autoreflection alignment for the high stability
adapter to achieve minimal thermal drift. It contains a quarter-wave
plate which allows the reference beam to return to the laser head
without offset. Figure 7O-10 illustrates how the aid is positioned
between the beam splitter and the high stability adapter during
alignment.
