    Why is there high optical noise in my Spectra-Physics Measuring Instruments?
    • M
      Mrs. Sara HicksAug 18, 2025
      If you are experiencing high optical noise with your Spectra-Physics Measuring Instruments, ensure the laser is operating at its specified output power level. Also, check for any strong electromagnetic noise sources nearby and ensure there are no significant mechanical vibrations affecting the laser head from its mounting surface. Verify that the chiller has good flow and is set to 20°C.

    Why is there high optical noise in Spectra-Physics Millennia eV?
    • M
      Mark ChavezSep 10, 2025
      If you're seeing high optical noise in your Spectra-Physics Measuring Instruments, check the laser is running at its specified output power. Also, inspect for external noise sources, ensuring no strong electromagnetic noise is present near the laser, and verify that there are no high mechanical vibrations coupled onto the laser head from the mounting surface.
