The Control Tabs are used to set-up and monitor the redPOWER Fiber Laser operating
parameters.
To configure the operating parameters select the Parameter Editor Control Tab or, on the
Menu bar, select: View – Windows – Parameter Set Programming. Here the demand level is
set and the output waveform (CW, single sector pulse, sine wave or an arbitrary user defined
shape) is determined.
Note: For a CW output, 100% demand is calibrated to deliver the maximum rated power of the
redPOWER Fiber Laser.
Maximum demand setting is 102-110% (depending on the redPOWER Fiber Laser model).
This extra headroom can be used to fine tune the process, or compensate for small variations
over time in the processing conditions.
In Single Sector Pulsed Mode a frequency and pulse width are set. In this mode the pump
drivers are switched on and off rapidly. The effect is to ‘chop’ the CW output into a series of
pulses.
Returning to the Laser Overview Screen (Monitors Tab, or on the Menu bar select: View –
Windows – Laser Overview), will allow the redPOWER Fiber Laser’s conditions to be
monitored while it is running.
