Series 4000 SCPI Programmers Reference Manual
Description
The
SOURce[1]:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
command sets the LD power
setpoint in watts for constant power (CW) mode.
The
SOURce[1]:POWer:ALC:SOURce
command sets the feedback source loop input to current
input (
DIODe
) or to voltage input (
PMETer
).
The
SOURce[1]:POWer:ALC:BANDwidth
command sets the bandwidth of the feedback source
loop input.
For constant power (CW) mode the feedback source input - photodiode current or thermopile
voltage - can additionally be used as parameter to control the LD output power.
The
SOURce[1]:POWer[:LEVel]:DIODe[:CURRent][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
command
sets the value for the photodiode current feedback. The LD power will be regulated so that the
current through the photodiode caused by the laser light will equal the value set by this
command.
The
SOURce[1]:POWer[:LEVel]:PMETer[:VOLTage][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
command
sets the value for the thermopile voltage feedback. The LD power will be regulated so that the
voltage of the thermopile caused by the laser light will equal the value set by this command.
Example
SOUR:POW 0.001
Sets the LD source power to 1.0 mW on a LDC4000 Series or an ITC4000 Series
instrument.
SOUR:POW:ALC:SOUR PMET
Sets the feedback source loop input to thermopile/power meter input.
SOUR:POW? MAX
Queries the maximum settable LD source power setpoint of a LDC4000 Series or an
ITC4000 Series instrument.
5.111964E-01
Typical response.
Note
The power regulation is actually based on photodiode current or the thermopile/power meter
voltage. Setting a new value for the responsivity for the connected photodiode or the connected
thermopile/power meter will not cause the instrument to change its output setting. In this case
the power set point will be adapted.
Example: The LD power is set to 1.0 mW, the photodiode responsivity is set to 1.0 A/W, the
resulting feedback current of the photodiode is 1.0 mA. When you change the responsivity to
2.0 A/W the feedback current remains constant at 1.0 mA but the read back value of the laser
power set point will decrease to 0.5 mW.
Note
This command is valid for LDC4000 and ITC4000 Series instruments only.
