Foggy Optics
What is Foggy Optics?
What is Foggy Optics?
Three types of Foggy optics
• White powdery coating
• Rust/brown spot burn
• Speckled mirror (delamination)

Diagnosing Foggy Optics
Diagnosing Foggy Optics
Run a “wavescan” test,
When bad
Open the optics and inspect.
Wavescan test results
Intensity for the 254 nm lineCurrently is 10 – 50 K counts

Diagnosing Foggy Optics
Treating Foggy optics
0603 Project (Foggy Optics)
Proposed Fixes and their status:
White powder fogging: due to leaky flow cells and customer sample depositing on the mirrors
New Flow cells & fittings available for all cells except 4 x 0.15
Brown powder fogging: due to UV attack on some of the foam parts close to the UV source.
Eliminating as much of the foam as possible and shielding the rest.
Mirror delamination: due to UV attack on the thin Al coating of the mirrors
Eliminated by putting a NiCr coating on the mirrors to strengthen the Al coating.
Opening and cleaning the optics
Cleaning 325 optics
Clean area in circle
Do not adjust!!
Replacing Optics
Wavelength calibration data must be entered into the 335 EEPROM
Replacing Optics
This label is attached to the top of each optics module, the shipping box and the
test document
