The extracavity prisms are mounted on translation stages and rotatable pedestals, for easy adjustment of insertion and minimum deviation.

Retro-reflecting mirror for double-passing is not included. User should provide an ~ 1” diameter silver mirror with mount for this purpose. Also, user must provide steering optics (silver recommended) to direct the laser output to the prism pair.

User will need access to a mechanism for measuring the pulse duration (e.g. an autocorrelator, FROG, Grenouille, or SPIDER), in order to determine the exact required prism separation to compensate for a) exiting the laser cavity and b) passing through any optical components between the laser cavity and the experiment. The nominal prism separation required for exiting the cavity is approximately ½ meter.
