<strong>Optical</strong> <strong>Tables</strong><br />
Selection Criteria<br />
This section provides a number of<br />
guidelines intended to aid you in<br />
selecting the <strong>Optical</strong> Table Top best<br />
suited to your particular applications.<br />
Since the sizes of Table Tops will usually<br />
be dictated by the experiments planned,<br />
we will restrict discussion to their<br />
thickness and the thick ness of their top<br />
plates. Table Top length/thickness ratios<br />
of roughly 10:1 are normally regarded as<br />
ideal choices, since they yield rigidities<br />
adequate for typical experimental setups.<br />
In specific cases involving ultrasensitive<br />
experimental setups, such as those used<br />
in interfero metry or holography, this<br />
ratio should be reduced to as little as 7:1,<br />
and Table Top thickness should be at<br />
least 200 mm.<br />
Table Top plate thickness should also be<br />
chosen to suit the types of experiments<br />
planned.<br />
Table Tops of both series have grids of<br />
our patented Clean-Top sealed tapped<br />
holes, and may be equipped with our<br />
Laserport option, a section of 47.6 mm<br />
i.d. steel tubing inserted into a throughhole<br />
cut into their struc tures, interconnecting<br />
their top and bottom plates. This<br />
is normally centered on the longitudinal<br />
axis, 150 mm distant from the shorter<br />
edge. Used in combination with our<br />
Lasershelf option, Laserport allows<br />
space-saving mounting of laser sources<br />
beneath Table Tops (see section Accessories<br />
<strong>Optical</strong> <strong>Tables</strong> for further information<br />
on our Lasershelf option).<br />
Due to their rugged construction, our<br />
<strong>Optical</strong> Table Tops are likely to remain in<br />
service for many years. Long-range<br />
planning and potential future applications<br />
should be taken into account in the<br />
selection process. This will ensure that<br />
the rigid Table Top for tackling future<br />
tasks will already be on hand.<br />
