Selecting Operation Modes
In both control modes (Local and Remote), there are two main modes of laser
emission:
•
Continuous (CW)
•
Pulsed (QCW)
Pulse Mode (QCW)
Pulse Mode (for QCW models only, Pulse-mode enabled) laser internally generates
a sequence of pulses. Pulse duration and pulse repetition rate can be configured by:
•
Sending corresponding commands via RS-232 interface, or
•
Using the Pulse Settings sub-menu on the touch-screen display
The main difference between Pulse and CW modes is that in Pulse Mode the
maximum peak power is considerably higher than in CW.
However, the maximum pulse duration and the maximum duty cycle are limited to
certain values (refer to the
SPECIFICATION YTTERBIUM FIBER LASER
document
and refer to Figure 2-15). When in CW mode, the maximum pulse duration and duty
cycle are not applicable.
Figure 2-15.
