Presentation Transcript

  1. Ultrafast Laser Micro-MachiningTuesday, July 20Ryan Newson • Odd Jobs Update • Affixed cooler knob • Verified previous ThorLabs orders • Test Shooting of Regular Al Foil • Micromachining Setup Updates • Third alignment camera in place • 8mm collecting lens setup • To Do

  2. Primary Cooler Knob • Used 12-min apoxy to glue knob onto cooler • Waited few mins so it wouldn’t run down

  3. ThorLabs Website Mistakes • Sometimes ThorLabs website gave incorrect subtotal • Apparently corrected at the “source” • Reviewed previous invoices given to me, all of which seemed to be without error

  4. Micromachining Setup – July 20

  5. Shoot Test Aluminum Foil • Used a sample of commercial “heavy duty” aluminum foil • Used original f=13.8 mm focusing lens & f=30 mm collecting lens • Oscillator operating mainly in higher order mode • Amplifier apparently operating normally

  6. Shoot Test Aluminum Foil cont. ETP off of Al foil: CCD-ETP (diode laser) CCD-ETP (ps laser)

  7. Shoot Test Aluminum Foil cont. Shot #1: CCD-FF CCD-NF CCD-SB CCD-DS

  8. Shoot Test Aluminum Foil cont. Shot #2: CCD-FF CCD-NF CCD-SB CCD-DS

  9. Shoot Test Aluminum Foil cont. Oscillator Only Through: CCD-NF CCD-FF CCD-SB CCD-DS

  10. Shoot Test Aluminum Foil cont. • Used Intel Microscope to take some quick images 200x

  11. Triggering Problems Solved • Have recently setup CCD-FF & CCD-DS to trigger from Twitter’s LabVIEW timing program • Modified CCD-DS’s (Hitachi) macro to auto-save images - works! • Still need to change from every shot to every 8th shot • Setup CCD-FF (PixeLINK) to trigger recently - works! (fixed strange problem - wires reversed) • Still need to tweak timing and auto-save images

  12. Alignment Cameras • Added third alignment camera behind pulse-train selector CCD-MA CCD-MO CCD-MP

  13. Collecting Lens Switch-up • Switched 30 mm collecting lens with 8 mm lens • Beamwaist 3.75X larger, but seems to work… CCD-FF 8mm CCD-FF 30mm CCD-NF 30mm CCD-NF 8mm

  14. Collecting Lens Switch-up cont. 50 um 150 um 750 um CCD-SB pair 1 CCD-SB pair 3 CCD-SB pair 8

  15. “To Do” List • Finalize triggering for CCD-FF & CCD-DS • Run another test on Al foil with all CCD’s • Get oscillator working good as new • Start shooting real Al samples! • Gather papers for review with Santiago
