-The D2-210 requires +5 and ±15 VDC and ground to operate.  The power input is via a female 6-pin Hirose connector [[http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?KeyWords=HR10A-7TR-6SA(73)&WT.z_header=search_go|HR10A-7TR-6SA(73)]]. If you are making your own power cable, pin 4 is +5 V and pin 6 is ground.  Use a 6-pin male Hirose connector [[http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?KeyWords=HR10A-7TP-6P(73)&WT.z_header=search_go|HR10A-7TP-6P(73)]].  Depending on your order configuration, you should have received a power cable with this connector on one end and either the same on the other end (typically for use with ICE products) or a DB-9 connector (for use with D2-products).+The D2-210 requires +5 and ±15 VDC and ground to operate.  The power input is via a female 6-pin Hirose connector [[http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?KeyWords=HR10A-7TR-6SA(73)&WT.z_header=search_go|HR10A-7TR-6SA(73)]].  Depending on your order configuration, you should have received a power cable with this connector on one end and either the same on the other end (typically for use with ICE products) or a DB-9 connector (for use with D2-products).

 Input light passes through an adjustable λ/2 waveplate and polarizing beamsplitter (PBS) that directs a user-controlled portion of the beam to the vapor cells and detectors.  (For the fiber-coupled option the user will generally input most of the light.) The beam is then passed through a cleanup PBS and split on a 50:50 non-polarizing beamsplitter (NPBS).  One portion is then passed through a reference vapor cell (Doppler subtraction option) or passed directly to the reference photodiode. Input light passes through an adjustable λ/2 waveplate and polarizing beamsplitter (PBS) that directs a user-controlled portion of the beam to the vapor cells and detectors.  (For the fiber-coupled option the user will generally input most of the light.)

 The remaining portion is passed through a fixed λ/2 waveplate and PBS to split off the pump beam from the probe beam.  The pump beam is directed to the Output Optics assembly where it is combined with the probe beam on a PBS in a counter-propagating configuration. The pump beam is dumped through the reflection port of the PBS that separated the pump and probe and terminates on the wall of the housing.  The probe is detected on the signal photodiode. The remaining portion is passed through a fixed λ/2 waveplate and PBS to split off the pump beam from the probe beam.  The pump beam is directed to the Output Optics assembly where it is combined with the probe beam on a PBS in a counter-propagating configuration.

-The beam diameters were designed to provide enough photocurrent (~50-100μA) to give shot-noise-limited performance out to 5 MHz while limiting saturation broadening.  For Vescent's DBR lasers, the bandwidth is useful to provide for tight and stable locking by feedback to injection current.  +The beam diameters were designed to provide enough photocurrent (~50-100 μA) to give shot-noise-limited performance out to 5 MHz while limiting saturation broadening.  For Vescent's DBR lasers, the bandwidth is useful to provide for tight and stable locking by feedback to injection current.
