Installation and Alignment

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.
