Figure 5.1:

Laser current on-off ramp in CW mode. The ramp is active at any change
of laser current.

When

 

using

 

the

 

RS232

 

interface

 

the

 

command

 

LR

 

may

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

switch

 

the

 

laser

 

on.

 

The

 

command

 

LS

 

switches

 

the

 

laser

 

off.

5.2.2  Current  Ramp  to  Laser  Current  Set-Point

In

 

CW

 

mode

 

the

 

ramp

 

on

 

laser

 

run

 

and

 

stop

 

is

 

activated

 

by

 

default.

 

However,

 

this

 

function

 

is

 

not

 

available

 

over

 

the

 

display

 

menus.

 

To use this feature, 

you

 

need

 

to

 

control

 

the

 

driver

 

over

 

an

 

RS232

 

interface.

 

With

 

e.

 

g.

 

LZTR2000

 

you

 

can

 

set

 

the

 

time

 

to

 

reach

 

the

 

maximum

 

current

 

set-point for you laser diode.

ms

 

in

 

this

 

example.

 

During

 

the

 

laser

 

stop

 

ramp,

 

you

 

can

 

turn

 

off

 

the

 

laser

 

immediately

 

by

 

sending

 

LS

 

command 

again.

 

You

 

can

 

disable

 

the

 

ramp

 

with

 

LZTR0

.

 

The

 

default

 

value

 

for

 

LZTR

 

is

 

300

 

ms.

 

Figure

shows

 

how

 

LZTR

 

works.

5.2.3  Laser  APC  Power  Control  Mode

The

 

power

 

control

 

mode

 

is

 

only

 

available

 

in

 

CW

 

mode

 

and

 

consists

 

of

 

two

 

independent

 

parts:

T

he

 

photo

-

current

 

control

 

loop

T

he

 

laser

 

power

 

coefficients

 

which

 

do

 

a

 

translation

 

from

 

a

 

power

 

value

 

into

a

 

value

 

for

 

the

 

photo

-

current

To

 

initiate

 

the

 

APC 

power

 

control

 

you

 

must

 

first

 

prepare

 

the

 

laser

 

for

 

proper

 

operation

 

in

 

CW

 

mode

 

(see

 

section

 

5.1

).

 

Don’t

 

forget

 

to

 

adjust

 

the

 

laser

 

current

 

limit.
