 The D2-250 heterodyne module is designed to provide a fiber-coupled heterodyne optical beat note formed by picking-off a small proportion of light from each of two laser beams. Light is coupled into a multi-mode fiber. A second output port can be used to align the overlap the two picked-off beams.  The light entering the module should be linearly polarized in either vertical or horizontal direction for best results. The D2-250 heterodyne module is designed to provide a fiber-coupled heterodyne optical beat note formed by picking-off a small proportion of light from each of two laser beams.

 The D2-250 Heterodyne Module utilizes the same three pickoff-cube architecture as the D2-150. With this revision, each input beam passes through a rotatable zero-order half-waveplate prior to a polarizing beam splitter, enabling the user to adjust the amount of power from each source beam diverted to the optically mixed outputs. A 50:50 non-polarizing beam splitter overlaps the pickoff light into a fiber coupler. Each cube rests on a 2-axis kinematic mount adjustable from the module exterior, enabling horizontal and vertical beam pointing adjustment. The D2-250 Heterodyne Module utilizes the same three pickoff-cube architecture as the D2-150.
