  • Page 13: Description

    Description A SuperK SPLIT is a passive filter accessory for the SuperK laser series. A SuperK SPLIT divides the super continuum spectral emission from a SuperK laser. A SPLIT has two separate outputs, each outputs a subset of the original super continuum beam source.
  • Page 14: Features

    “Electrical Connections” on page Shutters As a safety feature, each optical output of the SuperK SPLIT is equipped with a mechanical shutter. When the shutter is closed, it blocks all optical emission. The shutters are manually operated by turning the shutter knob between the Open...

    Collimator release button “Electrical Interfaces” on page 17 Mounting holes The two mounting holes (1) are designed to fasten the SuperK SPLIT to either metric or imperial optical tables that have screw holes spaced at either 25 mm or 1” pitch.
  • Page 16: Optical Apertures

    Interfaces VIS/NIR output shutter This shutter can be set to block or unblock the VIS/NIR filtered output emission from the aperture. Set the shutter to the “Closed” position to block emission. Set the shutter to the “VIS/NIR” position to unblock emission from the aperture. Collimator release button and locking screw SuperK laser outputs are provided with a barrel shaped collimator.
  • Page 17: Electrical Interfaces

    Interfaces VIS/NIR optical output aperture This is a free space output aperture for the primary filtered emission. NIR/IR optical output aperture This is a free space output aperture for the visible emission. Note: All output apertures include 4 screw holes for mounting, for example, a fi- ber coupler such as an FDS consisting of a SuperK CONNECT and FD.
  • Page 18: Status Leds

    Status LEDs the External bus daisy chain, the interlock loop circuit will be open and emission disabled at the SuperK laser. Status LEDs The SPLIT includes three status LEDs as described in 1. The LEDs are Table located on a side panel next to the External bus ports and shown in Figure The emission LED is lit ON RED when the connected SuperK laser’s emission is enabled.
  • Page 19: Table 1 Status Leds

    Status LEDs Table 1 Status LEDs LED Name Condition Description Emission ON RED Emission enabled The SuperK laser system emission is ON and class 4 emission is present at the primary and auxiliary optical output ports. The position of the mechanical shutters at each output port does not change the status of the emission LED.

    Electrical Connections 5. Push the collimator into the receptacle until its collar rests against the chassis. As you push it in, the collimator will encounter some resistance, and two distinct clicks as it locks in place. Note: Again, you may need to turn the collar slightly to align the collimator key with the alignment slot.
