Pin-out

Circular connector Lumberg SV70 (male, IEC 61076-2-106) for power supply and external modulation ­(pins Uanalog and UTTL) as well as RS232 interface.

Cable shielding and casing are connected and are galva­nically isolated from the laser diode and the electronics.

Modulation

The laser has two AND-wired modulation input channels, Uanalog  and UTTL.

Modulation 2.5V

Connecting analog voltage

The input for analog modulation allows applying an analog voltage Uanalog in a range from 0 V to 2.5 V) which allows a linear control of the laser output power from Pmin (Pmin is on the order of < 1% of Po) up to the maximum power given by the potentiometer setting.

Timing 2.5V

Timing diagram

The laser is OFF in case of an open modulation input. If only one modulation input channel is used, the other has to be set to +5 V.
