Laser Stabilization
System (ST-LASS-II) is designed as an electro-optic feedback loop capable of
reducing the amplitude variations commonly associated with lasers. The
ST-LASS-II system enhances the signal to noise ratio of the laser over a broad
bandwidth. Both an internal and external reference input is provided, allowing
analog programming of the laser throughput.
The ST-LASS-II is
particularly convenient for use in recording systems where laser power must be
varied as a function of position on the recording medium (i.e. video disc, flat
bed recorders, etc.). The system is composed of feedback electronics, power
supply and electro-optic modulator with integrated beam-splitter and photodiode
amplifier.
