Pratt/optics rail

• This page is for the use of Dr. Richard T. Jones to display the progress made with the laser ablation optics system.

• These photos are taken from a TurboCAD rendering of the optics rail that I completed this week. I have also added the 0.5cm x 0.5cm x 100 micron thick diamond at the optimum focal length (17cm) and tilted at a 45 degree angle from the beam axis. The blue cone represents the ablation plume and its dimensions are taken from plume characteristics observed in local thin film ablation laboratories.
