Using the OSICS TLS-AG Module
242
OSICS User Manual
3.
From the TLS-AG
Unit Setup
menu, set the wavelength of the TLS-AG tunable laser
to the minimum wavelength that corresponds to the type and power option of the
TLS-AG module you are using (see
OSICS TLS-AG Technical Specifications
).
4.
Enable the TLS-AG module laser output by pressing the
Enable
button.
5.
Set the output power value to the rated output power, as given in section
OSICS TLS-
AG Technical Specifications
and check that the TLS-AG module can deliver the desired
output power at the given wavelength.
6.
Set the wavelength of the TLS-AG tunable laser to the maximum wavelength that
corresponds to the type and power option of the TLS-AG module you are using (see
section
OSICS TLS-AG Technical Specifications
) and check that the TLS-AG module can
deliver the desired output power at the given wavelength.
7.
If either of the rated output power at the wavelength range ends cannot be achieved
(within specification limits), the TLS-AG module requires servicing. Please contact
your
Y
enista Optics
customer support service (see section
)
immediately.
15.7.4 Asking for a Factory Recalibration
Subject
To externally verify the performance of the OSICS, refer to the procedure described in
Testing the Performance of the TLS-AG Module, p. 240
. If the performance does not
meet warranted specifications, a complete calibration of the instrument may be required.
We recommend performing factory calibration of OSICS TLS-AG modules over one-year
intervals.
Procedure
Contact the
Y
enista Optics
customer support service (see section
) for a complete calibration, as some calibration steps require the adjustment of
internal components including the laser head.
