Profile rail OCM 650, 500 mm

The high precision optical rails are made out of special anodized aluminum. The rails are the base for various modules attached to carriers.
 

Carrier OCM 650, 20 mm with screen holder

This module can mount optical screens. Through the attached carrier, the screen holder can be placed onto the optical rail. The carrier 20 mm and the holder are made out of special anodized aluminum.
 

Screen with scale

Experimental results like colour spectra and interference patterns can be visualized on these screens. Horizontal or vertical scales allow calibrations and quantitative measurements; a screen with an aperture is used for observing back-reflected rays. The screens are made out of anodized aluminum plates with one side painted white and can be fixed onto screen holders (02.1022, 02.1608).
 

Mounting plate 40 with rotator, spacer block and carrier 20 mm

This element mounts optical plates, like half- and quarter-wave plates, which can rotate around their axis. The rotator has a scale graduation from 0 - 360° at intervals of 5°. The unit is made out of special anodized aluminum and can be directly attached to the optical rail via a carrier 20 mm.
 

Mounting plate OCM 650 for click 25, including carrier 20 mm
Mounting plate OCM 650 for click 30, including carrier 20 mm

Mounting plates are used to hold optical mounts. A characteristic feature of the mounting plates is the “click” mechanism of the inserts based on spring loaded spheres. Snapping in the groove of the inserted click mount, the optical element is kept in an exact position. On the other hand, the system allows a quick and easy change of the mounted inserts.
The mounting plates are made out of special anodized aluminum. Mounted onto the carrier 20 mm, the mounting plates can be placed onto an optical rail.

4 axis adjustment holder KH650, theta, phi, X and Y, including carrier 20 mm

This adjustment holder mounts a Diode Laser or an LED lamp. Using the fine pitch adjustment screws, the optical axis can be aligned within the range of 3 mm. For fine alignment of the angle of the light beam, two additional pitch adjustment screws are attached onto the back of the holder. The holder and the carrier 20 mm are made out of special anodized aluminum and can be placed onto an optical rail.
 

Plano convex lens f=40, mounted in click 30 mount

Different glass lenses are mounted onto a special anodized aluminum click mount 30 mm by two threaded mounting rings to be used in connection with a mounting plate (02.2132).

Quarter wave plate, mounted in click 25 mount

A quarter-wave quartz plate is mounted onto a special anodized aluminum click mount 25 mm by two threaded mounting rings to be used in connection with a mounting plate 40 with rotator (02.2082). The influence of a quarter-wave plate on a light beam can be studied as a function of the rotation angle.
Dia: 12,7 mm
 

Calcite crystal, mounted in click 25 mount

A calcite crystal is mounted onto a special anodized aluminum click mount 25 mm by two threaded mounting rings to be used in connection with a mounting plate 40 with rotator (02.2082). This unit is used to demonstrate optical double refraction.
Dim:
Aprox.: 1 mm x 0,8 mm x 0,8 mm
 

DIMO diode laser module, 532 nm (green) with polariser

Due to its collimated beam, this frequency doubled green YAG laser is an ideal light source for experiments dealing with ray tracing and beam propagation. The diode in its 40 mm x 25 mm diameter housing tube made out of special anodized aluminum can be fixed onto a four axis adjustment holder and can be aligned to the optical axis. Driven by the LDD-05 active power supply (07.0206), the output power is controlled in the range from 0 to 3 mW.
 

LDD-05 active power supply

The universal LDD-05 active power supply is used for all laser and LED light sources. It recognizes which source is connected and sets the parameters for it automatically. The unit is equipped with a main switch, a regulation knob for adjusting the laser or LED power and a safety lock. The provided USB bus interface allows control through a personal computer or laptop and qualifies this unit as multimedia source.
The housing is made out of shock-proof plastic with an aluminum front and rear panel.

Voltage: 230 VAC / 50 Hz
Case dimensions: 200 mm x 160 mm x 62 mm.
 

In this unit, the high quality polarizer foil is inserted into a rotatable holder mounted onto a carrier. Using the rotating insert, the polarization direction can be set in degrees (0 - 360°) with a resolution of 2°. The unit is made out of special anodized aluminum. Mounted onto the carrier 20mm, it can be directly attached to the optical rails.
 

The beam expander, consisting of two lenses mounted onto a click 25 optical mount and a 40 mm x 25 mm diameter sleeve, can be fixed onto the mounting plate (02.2126) which is attached to the optical rail using a carrier. The divergence of the magnified beam is adjusted by varying the telescope length.

A pockels cell with high voltage power supply is used for the demonstration of inducing birefringence on a crystal of type I by applying an external voltage. The effect can be observed on the interference pattern generated in a conoscopic setup. The pockels crystal is mounted onto a holder between two electrodes. The insulated holder is fixed via a spacer on a carrier 30 mm and can be placed on an optical rail. The high voltage power supply can provide a DC-voltage from 0 to 800 V maximum. The housing of the power supply is made out of shock proof plastic with an aluminum front and rear panel.
