\chapter{Hardware} % ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Adjustable periscopes} % ---------------------------------------------------------------- Our light sources take on horizontal or vertical polarizations according to which tuning process is used. % Our experiments are opinionated about polarization, so some strategy for aligning polarization is necessary. % Desire fully reflective, easy to switch without changing path length (delay) etc... For several years, we used brewster-angle polarization unifiers... % These worked by... % But these were very difficult to align, and they were too lossy for some of the weaker tuning processes. % As an alternative, we designed a more traditional periscope with adjustability for our unique needs. % \begin{figure}[htp!] \centering \includegraphics[scale=0.1]{"hardware/periscope"} \label{f:periscope} \caption{CAPTION TODO} \end{figure} \begin{enumerate} \item in flipped polarization: \begin{itemize} \item stage near \item upper mirror far \end{itemize} \item in kept polarization: \begin{itemize} \item stage x and upper mirror height near \item lower mirror far \end{itemize} \end{enumerate}
