The Power "Y" Cable (AXA10987) is provided with Standard OEM, Small Form Factor OEM, and Integrated Engines. The Power "Y" Cable connects power input receptacles on Engine (laser driver) or DAQ circuit boards to the 12 VDC output of the AC/DC power adapter. Connectors P1 and P2 are interchangeable (2x3 pin configuration).
P1 or P2 connects to a Engine (i.e. laser driver) board.
P1 or P2 connects to a DAQ board (optional) or is left disconnected.
An FC/APC - FC/APC single mode fiber patch cable is included with Engines in the Benchtop Enclosure configuration. It connects the laser output from the enclosure's FC/APC bulkhead adapter to the user's external optical components. The fiber type depends on the spectral region of the individual laser.
WARNING: Stop laser emission prior to making or breaking fiber optic connections. This is especially important for lasers in the 1060 nm spectral range which use smaller fiber core diameters that are succeptible to endface damage when exposed to high power densities.
A SATA cable, 8 inches long, is provided to connect the laser engine board to the interface board for observing trigger and clock signals.
P3 connects to the .
NOTE: Before optical fiber connections are made, perform fiber endface inspection (and clean if necessary) per .
OEM configurations include a small printed circuit board (AXS83695) for converting the differential Sweep Trigger, K-Clock, and OCT Balanced Receiver outputs on SATA connectors into corresponding single-ended signals on SMA connectors for viewing on an oscilloscope or digitizer. More information on connecting the Interface Board can be found . It is not required for basic laser operation.
A motorized Variable Delay Line (AXS84135-1/- 2/ -3 and AXS85009-1/ -2/-3) is an optional accessory that can be by the Axsun laser engine board. The VDL can be either for 1310 nm or for 1060 nm. It can be connectorized with FC/APC, SC/APC or LC/APC connectors with a 35 cm total exposed fiber length. The total optical path length, at 7.5 mm motor position (middle of travel range), is reported on each VDL's test report.
