Laser light can also be output by a sharing method other than the above so that the
timesharing unit may not be operated even when the branch shutter is opened.
For this setting, set the independent control of the branch shutter by using the DIP
switch in the main unit and then set the branch shutter and timesharing unit to be
operated on the MEMORY SWITCH screen.
⇒
For how to set the independent control of the branch shutter, refer to "Controlling
Branch Shutters Independently" on page 110.
Single
A single branch shutter is opened to output laser light only to a single optical fiber.
Laser light is reflected on the beamsplitter
and transferred from opened branch shutter 1.
The timesharing unit is not installed.
2-powersharing delivery to 4-powersharing delivery
Laser light is split according to the number of built-in branch shutters and then
simultaneously output. For example, in the 2-powersharing delivery, two branch
shutters are opened to branch laser light into 2 beams, so that these beams are
output simultaneously. At 3-powersharing, three branch shutters are opened and
laser light is split into 3 beams, and then simultaneously output.
