Laura's Summer Experience
Objective: Test toSee if PMT-RAS is Focused for Blue Light • Test output of PMT-RAS receiving light from a pinhole or open diode at different turns of the barrel. • Graph data in Excel and calculate FWHM (full width half max). • Calculate the field of view. • Calculate the focus of the lens, using the data collected, for blue light focused at infinity.
Oscilloscope readings (PMT-RAS output) Input into LED Signal out of PMT-RAS
Signal Generator The Instruments Oscilloscope Translation Stage Controller High Voltage Power Supply
Why was it important to focus the instrument for blue light? Light refraction for different wave lengths Blue 440nm Green 546nm Red 633 nm *Shorter wave lengths have larger refractive indices
First Test (Green)
Second Test (Green)
Calculating the Field of View Distance diode was observed 180L 2L y p Distance from diode to PMT-RAS
Calculating the focus of the lens for blue light focused at infinity
Conclusion: ~After the focus length was calculated according to blue light focused at infinity, it was established that the PMT-RAS is in focus and no extension of the barrel will be needed.
