Connector for FC/APC-connectorized fiber. Before
turning on the laser power, make sure the laser output is blocked
or attached to an optical fiber and the fiber is connected to an
appropriate receptacle on the other end.
The Vidia-Discrete is available with either single-mode or
polarization maintaining fiber. If you purchased polarization-
maintaining fiber as an option with your laser, the polarization is
aligned parallel to the key on the FC connector.
14. Power Adjust Knob:
Adjusts the laser’s output power.
