EXTERNAL CAVITY TUNABLE LD LIGHT SOURCE ECL-210
7-21
The range of set current differ each ECL unit more or less. It is allowed to set 0 to the current
limit value by software. The unit is mA.
NOTE
7.11. Fine Tuning Function
ECL can tune oscillation wavelength in a wide range by controlling the loss for the components in
selecting wavelength in external cavity. The method of ECL selecting wavelength is to operate
the 2 independent components in selecting wavelength (OBPF and FLF) together. The wave-
length of laser is automatically locked by high precise characteristic of selecting wavelength. This
high precision control of FLF enables excellent wavelength accuracy, stability, and repeatability.
The control circuits in ECL precisely controls OBPF and FLF, and it is easy to operate to set
wavelength from the external through MLS.
After setting wavelength, it is possible to set FINE control (fine-tuning) independently for making
small wavelength change.
7.11.1. Setting Fine Tuning
1) Select the unit to operate on MLS. (Refer 7.4. Selecting Units in MLS)
2) Use [MODE] key to set the MODE FINE.
3) Use the shuttle switch to set control amount. (Refer 7.7. Shuttle switch)
4) MLS controls the set control amount.
