Fiber Testing Procedure (view source)

It is important to determine light yield of each fiber before shipment to Jefferson Lab. In order to do this, light yield tests will be performed on each fiber in our dark box using a red laser diode on a pulsing circuit. The setup of the fibers is very important, as any offset fibers could give an inaccurate result. It is also important that procedure is followed to prevent damage to electronics.

**Check that each fiber is flush against the chimney edge using touch, and finally, visually inspect using the light/mirror.

**If any fibers are not flush against the edge, re-do the previous step.

*'''Have a lab technician check the fibers at this step.''' The fibers cannot be too far into the chimneys or else they will damage the SiPMs when the board is replaced.

*'''A grad student or lab technician''' must put the SiPM board back into place. Apply even pressure to the ends of the preamp boards until they are in place. Do not push so hard that it is bending the backplane. If needed, just place the preamp support end and screw it into the preamp supports until they are flush.

*Close the main dark box opening and lock it tight to ensure that it is light sealed.
