Specifications
Assembly
1. Determine the configuration of your experiment
and the location in which the Diode Laser will be
set up and adjust the orientation of the Diode Laser
accordingly. Make sure the face of the laser diode
assembly is relatively perpendicular to the surface
of your optics bench. This will minimize the
amount of fine adjustment you may need to per-
form in step 4. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure
the laser diode module.
2. Place the “alignment edge” of the Diode Laser
against the alignment rail of your PASCO optics
bench. See Figures 2 and 3.
3. Plug the 9VDC adapter phone plug into the back of
the laser and turn on the laser.
4. If necessary, use the adjustment screws to align the
laser beam from left-to-right and up-and down. See
Figure 4.
5. When using with the Laser Slits, OS-8529, slide the
Laser Diode to the top of the slots on the mount
