14.0 Decreasing Output Energy
Operation at a decreased energy level is useful when starting an
experimental setup or testing equipment. A simple way to decrease the
laser output energy is to increase the delay between the flashlamp and
Q-Switch to a value that is higher than optimal. You can do this using the
Remote Box.
CAUTION:
Quantel advises against decreasing the energy of the
flashlamp(s) to reduce the output energy. Decreasing the energy
of the flashlamp(s) will cause a change in beam characteristics.
Divergence and position of the focal points may cause damage to
the laser’s internal optics.
To adjust the output energy using the Remote Box:
1. From the
Main menu
, select the
Q-Switch
menu.
2. Select
FLQS dly
(Flashlamp/Q-Switch delay).
3. Press the “Increase/Decrease Value” buttons to set the desired value
for the output energy.
15.0 Increasing Output Energy
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify the pumping power by using
the Remote Box to increase the flashlamp energy This energy has
been factory set for optimal laser performance.
Only increase the flashlamp energy with the Remote Box if the
flashlamp efficiency decreases. Please contact
to determine the cause of the efficiency
decrease.
