    The delivery fiber guides the laser power from the PRISM HPC Module into the Laser Integrator’s optics. The multimode fiber is available with different core diameters and is protected by a ruggedized conduit including SPI Lasers’ Fiber Continuity Monitoring System (FCMS) terminated with an industry standard optical connector. The optical connector and ruggedized conduit with FCMS are referred to as the beam delivery optic (BDO).

  • Page 119: Table 27 Recommended Psus

    SPI Lasers has not seen any need for additional capacitive support on the TDK-Lambda power supply. SPI Lasers has also found that the Meanwell PSUs can produce significant output ripple at their internal power factor correction and main output switching frequencies. This ripple does not prevent successful operation, but it may be fed through to the monitoring outputs of the PRISM Fiber Laser.

  • Page 120: Figure 64 Additional Components For Psu Support

    Trials have shown that the use of common mode filter chokes on the power cables can minimise the effect of this ripple on the performance of the PRISM Fiber Laser. SPI Lasers recommends using four EMI cores part number M-981, article number 12704, from Magnatec GmbH for each PRISM FL Module.

  • Page 126: Customer Service

    In the unlikely event that the PRISM Fiber Laser requires attention outside the scope of the maintenance requirements as detailed in Section 9, contact SPI Lasers for advice on further on-site fault diagnosis and/or return of the PRISM Fiber Laser. Contact information is given in Section 16.
  • Page 127 SPI Lasers. Accurate details, diagnosis and comments in the documentation reduce turnaround time for repair at SPI Lasers. On request, SPI Lasers will supply a report detailing faults found and repairs carried out necessary to return the PRISM Fiber Laser to full operational specification.
