2.
Connect a communication link between the T100S-HP tunable laser source and the
wavemeter via the RS-232 C interface: make sure the RS-232 C cable connection
meets the following pin assignment on the T100S-HP SubD-9 connector:
•
Pin 2: RX (data received by T100S-HP on pin 2)
•
Pin 3: TX (messages sent out by T100S-HP via pin 3)
•
Pin 5: GND (the ground is through pin 5)

Performing Wavelength Monitoring
Wavelength
Monitoring
Scheme
The wavelength monitoring scheme consists in a loop-back to the tunable laser of the
wavemeter actual reading, and self-alignment of the tunable laser by iteration process to
achieve the user-defined target wavelength within the wavemeter’s accuracy. In order to
achieve the user-defined target wavelength within the wavemeter accuracy, the following
wavelength monitoring scheme is implemented:
•
The wavemeter actual reading loops back to the tunable laser
•
An iteration process self-aligns the tunable laser.
Figure 7: Wavelength Monitoring Scheme
Depending on the performance of the wavemeter you are using, the average iteration
time to reach the target wavelength may range from 1.5 s to 2 s.
