3D View of PGR Optical Tables
A three-dimensional view of the PGR optical tables containing the main, SSD, and backlighter diode-pumped regenerators, the SSD modulators, and the periscope that delivers the beams to the driver-line area in the Laser Bay. The tables also contain diagnostic equipment and various optics used to point, center and collimate the beams. The 2-D SSD modulator is located inside the x-band box.
