A novel apparatus for the calibration of the HARP Time Projection Chamber has been designed, developed and built. The apparatus consists of a large number of point-like photo-electron sources located at precise positions inside the detector volume. The photo-electron sources are optical quartz fiber

✦ Synopsis
We present a report on a laser calibration system of DELTA spectrometer that has been designed and developed in the Laboratory of High Energies, JINR, Dubna. The system is intended for monitoring and continuous stabilization of the outputs of the detectors of the spectrometer. The UV nitrogen pulse laser along with optical filters, collection of optical fibers and plastic scintillators serving for conversion of UV light pulses to longer wavelength and for diffusion of the light beam to illuminate 300 photomultipliers are used. We stabilize the positions of laser peaks by corrections of high voltages of the corresponding photomultipliers. The proposed system allows one to accomplish the stabilization during the experiment with the use of the same electronics. The control software together with the first results from test runs are described as well.

The calibration and monitoring system constructed for the HARP experiment scintillator-based time of flight system is described. It is based on a Nd-Yag laser with passive Q-switch and active/passive mode-locking, with a custom made laser light injection system based on a bundle of IR monomode optic
## Abstract We show that the plasma lines of a Kr^+^ laser can be used for the calibration of a Raman spectrometer. We have tabulated the absolute values of the plasma lines as well as the shift of these lines relative to the laser lines.
