Stabilized
HeNe Laser
 

sl 02-Series

 
 Design and Operation
sl 02-Series stabilized HeNe lasers employ a patented two-mode stabilization technique providing high frequency stability in conjunction with rapid warm-up. The stabilized HeNe laser is installed in a compact cylindrical case. For the power supply only a single 13.5 V-AC adapter is necessary. The output beam is linearly polarized. Two different models, either with one single mode (Model sl 02/1), or with two polarized modes (Model sl 02/2) are available. An internal thread at the beam exits may be used for installing mechanical shutters or various types of optical components. Fiber couplers directly installed on the laser head have the advantage of stable and nearly alignment-free operation. Couplers with pigtails mating to singlemode or multimode fibers are available as an option.
