Our computer controlled variable attenuator kit is an easy to use kit for the continuous, automatic attenuation of the laser output power. It is based on the combination of a ½ wave-plate and polarizer. The algorithm used to control power operates in a closed loop with PID (proportional, integral, derivative) feedback, compensating for slow changes in output power.
- Automatic control and adjustment of output power of fixed wavelength 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
