Abstract:
A system and method for aligning a light beam in a spectroscopic measuring device such as a pump-probe device is provided. The system and method comprise a first motorized mirror ( 66 b ) positioned to receive and transmit a light beam ( 60 a ); a second motorized mirror ( 66 c ) positioned relative to the first mirror to receive the light beam from the first mirror and transmit the light beam to a delay line ( 64 ); a third mirror ( 78 ) positioned to receive the light beam from the delay line and transmit said light beam to a detector ( 80 ); and a computer-based processor ( 82 ) in communication with the detector and the first and second mirrors, the processor configured to a) receive and process data relating to the light beam from the detector, and b) cause movement of the first and second mirrors to change an angle of the mirrors based on the data relating to the light beam.

Claim (Index 2):
A method for aligning a light beam in a spectroscopic measuring device, the method comprising:\n a) Optionally, determining distances between optical components of an alignment system, the optical components comprising first and second motorized mirrors for transmitting the light beam to a delay line, a detector, and a third mirror for transmitting the light beam to the detector; b) With the delay line in a first position and each of the first and second mirrors set at a first angle, conducting a light beam to the delay line via the first and second mirrors such that the light beam exiting the delay line is transmitted to the detector via the third mirror; c) Transmitting a first location of the beam on the detector to a computer-based processor; d) Establishing a relationship between the angle of the first mirror and the position of the beam on the detector; e) Establishing a relationship between the angle of the second mirror and the position of the beam on the detector; and f) Establishing a relationship between the position of the delay line and the position of the beam on the detector.
