Gate

 

option

Before

 

turning

 

the

 

laser

 diode

 

on

 

you

 

must

 

connect

 

the

 

photo

-

sensor

 

between

 

the

 

PDC

 

(cathode)

 

and

 

the

 

GND

 

(anode)

 

pins

 

at

 

the

 

laser

 

connector.

 

After

 

this

 

you

 

should

 

test

 

whether

 

the

 

sensor

 

is  working

.

 

For

 

this

 

step, 

run

 

the

 

laser

 

and

 

check

 

with

 

the

 

LPCA

 

command

 

(laser

 

photo

-

current

 

actual).

 

The

 

default

 

maximum

 

photo

 

current

 

is

 

700

 

µA,

 

but

 

can

 

be

 

increased

 

on

 

request.

 

Enter

 

your

 

target

 

photo

-

current

 

with

 

the

 

LPCT

 

command.

mode

 

by

 

the

 

command

 

LPCCR

 

(laser

run).

 

Now

 

you

 

can

 

run

 

and

 

stop

 

the

 

laser

 

by

 

LR

 

and

 

LS

.

 

As

 

soon

 

as

 

you

 

start

 

the

 

laser

 

the

 

driver

 

begins

 

continuously

 

to

 

track

 

and

 

control

 

the

 

photo

 

current.

 

The

 

second

 

step

 

is

 

to

 

adjust

 

the

 

power

 

coefficients

 

so

 

that

 

you

 

can

 

use

 

power

 

values

 

in

 

Watt

s

.

 

For

 

this

, do as follows:

• adjust

 

the

 

LPT

 

value

 

(laser

 

power

 

target),

 

it

 

should

 

have

 

a

or

 

a

and

 

s

et

 

the

 

current

 

to 

the

 

point that the

laser

 

emits

 

exact

 

the

 

target

 

laser

 

power.

 

An

 

external

 

power

 

meter

 

is

necessary

 

for

 

this.

 

Now

 

execute

 

the

 

LPF

 

command

 

to

 

fix

 

the

 

actual

 

photo

-

current

 

value

 

to

 

this

 

laser

 

power.

You can n

you

 

can

 

get

power

 

by

 

the

 

command

 

LPA

,

by

 

the

 

LPT

 

command,

 

run

 

the

 

power

by

 

the

 

LPCCR

Start

 

and

the

5.3  Gate 

O

ption

There  is  a  gate  option  which  can  be  used  in  CW  mode  as  well  as  in  internal  digital 

modulation mode.  You may switch on and off the internally generated laser current by the 
modulation  input.  Optionally,  a  separate  gate  pin  may  be  used.  In  this  case  the  gate 
option  is  also  available  in  the  external  modulation  modes.  The  gate option is activated 
by the command LGR and deactivated by LGS. Additionally, the LMDXNR command can 
be used to negate the modulation input.

5.4  Modulation

odes

The

 

modulation

 

modes

 

can

 

be

 

selected

 

in

 

the

 

laser

 

menu.

 

Changing

 

modulation

the

 

laser.

 

You

 

may
