Finding focus of optical fibre
- The focus of the optical fibre was found by taking a relative distance between the lens and the position of the optical fibre, and measuring the amplitude of a spectral line from the laser found at 3.5mm.
- taken at 1mm intervals between 230m and 270mm.
- Fit with hyperbolae as approximation
- distance measured with ruler so very approximate i.e ±1mm
- Best focus was found at 250mm±2mm
- Iris was almost closed as the laser would saturate camera at shortest exposure.
- also took more data as SBIG ST-7E was cooling.
- Just need extra part to connect firewire camera, so that the alignment can be competed.
