PMT-RAS
Turning the Clean Room Into a Dark Room
Objective: Test to See if PMT-RAS is Focused for Blue Light Test output of PMT-RAS receiving light from a pinhole or open diode at different turns of the barrel. Graph data in Excel and calculate FWHM (full width half max). Calculate the field of view. Calculate the focus of the lens, using the data collected, for blue light focused at infinity.

Light refraction for different wave lengths Why was it important to focus the instrument for blue light? Blue 440nm Green 546nm Red 633 nm Shorter wave lengths have larger refractive indices

Calculating the focus of the lens for blue light focused at infinity
Actual Values
Conclusion: ~After the focus length was calculated according to blue light focused at infinity, it was established that the PMT-RAS is in focus and no extension of the barrel will be needed.
