Chapter 8. Diode replacement

‘click’ and cannot be removed from the connector when tugged. Re-

peat with cathode (black) wire crimp pairs. Reconnect the diode

connectors to the

PCB

underneath.

8. Test operation by reconnecting the controller and powering on the

TA

temperature controller first, check operation is normal with tempera-

ture approaching the set point, followed by powering on the current

controller at 100 mA. Referring to the test report table

Guide for seed

coupling at low and high tapered amplifier current

, set the

TA

diode

injection current to a value where you expect a few mW of

Unseeded

light and verify that some output light is visible on an IR viewing

card.

9. Restore the lens collimation (see Chapter 6) then follow the instruc-

tions for aligning either an internal seed laser (Chapter 4) or external

seed laser (see Chapter 5).
