Polarization Maintaining Output (Panda PM 1550)
If the module includes an optional Panda polarization maintaining fiber cord, the slow
axis is by default aligned to the connector key. Because of this, the laser polarization
(E-field) is parallel to the key.

Laser Control
User interface
The laser and any associated accessories are controlled using NKT Photonics
CONTROL Graphical User Interface (GUI) installed on a PC or the front panel
interface.
As an option, the laser can also be controlled using NKTP’s Software Development
Kit (SDK) for custom applications. For further information regarding the SDK refer to
the software and drivers link at NKTP’s support webpage:
https://www.nktphotonics.com/lasers-fibers/support/technical-support-and-customer-
service/
The PC or custom microprocessor can connect using either the USB serial port on the
front panel or the 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port on the rear panel.
Section 2
includes chapters describing the front panel interface and NKTP’s
CONTROL software and how to control the laser with the them.
