Variable Attenuator Kit for Lasers
Variable Attenuator Kit for Lasers
Our Variable Attenuator Kit is an easy to use kit for the continuous attenuation of the laser output power. To adjust the laser power down to the level required, typically users are forced to use either neutral density filters or other devices to reduce the pump power going to an experiment. These techniques do not typically allow for continuous control of the laser power. This kit allows the user to assemble pre-selected off-the-shelf components for a cost effective, manual, continuous power control solution for linearly polarized lasers.
- Easy control and adjustment of output power of fixed power lasers
- Designed to work with Spectra-Physics Ti:Sapphire ultrafast lasers
- All parts selected and tested to work together
- Produces either horizontal or vertical output polarization See All Features

Features
Half Waveplate & Polarizer Combination Design
Mai Tai® and Tsunami® Laser Compatible Versions
The MVA kit is offered in Mai Tai® and Tsunami® Laser compatible versions as well as Metric and English versions. A detailed explanation of this kit, how the setup works, and alignment procedures can be found in our Variable Attenuator for Lasers application note. The MVA kits have been prepared based on development activities and experiments conducted in Newport’s Technology and Applications Center and the results associated therewith. Actual results may vary based on laboratory environment, setup conditions and the type and condition of actual components and instruments used and user skills.
