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 11):
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:\n (1) moving the first mirror at a first angle along a vertical axis; \n (2) registering a second location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said second beam location to the computer-based processor; \n (3) moving the first mirror at a second angle along a horizontal axis; and \n (4) registering a third location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said third beam location to the computer-based processor; \n e) Establishing a relationship between the angle of the second mirror and the position of the beam on the detector:\n (1) moving the second mirror at a first angle along a vertical axis; \n (2) registering a fourth location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said fourth beam location to the computer-based processor; \n (3) moving the second mirror at a second angle along a horizontal axis; and \n (4) registering a fifth location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said fifth beam location to the computer-based processor; \n f) Establishing a relationship between the position of the delay line and the position of the beam on the detector:\n (1) moving the delay line to a second position; and\n (1a) moving the first mirror at a first angle along a vertical axis; \n (1b) registering a sixth location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said sixth beam location to the computer-based processor; \n (1c) moving the first mirror at a second angle along a horizontal axis; and \n (1d) registering a seventh location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said seventh beam location to the computer-based processor; \n (1e) moving the second mirror at a first angle along a vertical axis; \n (1f) registering a eight location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said eighth beam location to the computer-based processor; \n (1g) moving the second mirror at a second angle along a horizontal axis; and \n (1h) registering a ninth location of the beam on the detector and transmitting said ninth beam location to the computer-based processor; and \n \n (2) moving the delay line to a third position and repeating steps (1a) through (1h); \n g) Processing the beam position changes on the detector to correspond the changes in angles of the first and second mirrors with the position of the delay line; and h) Adjusting the angles of the first and second mirrors to send the beam to a desired position on the detector.
