Closed Loop Stabilization Kit
Operation
Set the UC-2000 to MAN. CLOSED or ANV CLOSED mode. Adjust the regulated setpoint to provide
a laser power output between approximately 20% and 80% of full power. This 20% window on either
side of the range allows the Controller to maintain full dynamic power regulation. Within the dynamic
response time of the system, the UC-2000 Controller can be gated from an external, low-frequency signal
source through the Gate connector.
Note: When operating in either closed loop mode, power output is no longer a curve of laser output
versus PWM duty cycle but instead, laser power output becomes a linear function of the desired
setpoint percentage.
For the closed loop kit, servo settling time to 90% of final value occurs within approximately 2 ms. Out-
put power regulation is typically ±2%, even when the beam “line hops” between 10.57 and 10.63 µm.
