Frequently Asked Questions

The C01 sensor head has a wavelength of 1555nm, an optical output power of 75µW, a single-mode laser output mode, and a beam waist diameter of 400µm.

The C01 sensor head can optionally feature high vacuum, ultra-high vacuum, or cryostat compatibility. The high-vacuum option (-HV) allows the sensor head to be used in vacuum conditions with pressures as low as 10^-6mbar, while the ultra-high vacuum option (-UHV) is required for pressures as low as 10^-11mbar.

The order code for the C01 sensor head is built using various option codes, including vacuum/cryostat options, referencemirror position, beamsplitter ratio, fiber length and type, and housing option. The default values are used if no option is specified.

The C01 is the standard sensor head type for the PICOSCALE Interferometer. It is a collimated output beam sensor head with a compact form factor and various customization options.

The C01 sensor head is specified for working distances between 13 and 650mm. However, the signal-to-noise performance will be limited for larger working distances.
