Innova Sabre FreD/MotoFreD Customer Course

The Innova Sabre FreD/MotoFreD Customer course provides instruction on the correct procedures for aligning, operating, and maintaining the laser. Course lectures detail how specific undesirable characteristics in the laser output can be traced to the misalignment or failure of specific assemblies and/or modules within the laser cavity. Extensive laboratory time is spent operating and optimizing the laser in the SHG and the fundamental configurations.

Topics: Introduction to the theory of frequency doubling; laser installation; doubling hardware; alignment; calibration and operation; crystal maintenance. Included is an introduction to the Innova Sabre laser head, resonator, tube, and magnet assembly; optics and alignment; optics cleaning; walking and aligning the laser for best mode and power.

Optional Topics: Fault message troubleshooting to the major assembly level, including reintegration of the faulty assembly (head, power supply, heat exchanger, and remote), available upon advance request.

Prerequisites: Some prior working experience with lasers, laser theory, and general laboratory safety practices is ideal, but not required. A basic theoretical understanding of optics is ideal.
