Laser/Ion Beam Overlap

Four sets of electrostatic lenses (mounted at the ion source, after the first electromagnetic sector and before and after the second electromagnet) ensure optimal overlap between the ion beam and the high power laser radiation (of up to 1 W). The ion current is measured at the lens stacks with Total Ion Monitor (TIM) plates to allow monitoring of any beam fluctuations and magnetic sector drift.
