Summary of Contents for Koheron CTL200

  • Page 1 This user guide is for the CTL200 v5+. For previous versions, please refer to the <v5 guide. Laser connections The CTL200-1 / CTL200-2 is compatible with Type 1 / Type 2 butterfly laser diodes. Note that it is compatible with floating diodes.
  • Page 2 Power supply The CTL200 is provided with a 5.9 V / 3 A power supply. The CTL200 is supplied with 5 V or 6 V via the barrel connector. With 5 V power supply, compliance voltages are reduced by 1 V. To supply the board with 5 V supply, set the SW3 position to ON.
  • Page 3 CTL200 start up, the CTL200 will load the user-defined configuration and the serial interface is no longer needed. The CTL200 can be controlled directly from a serial port terminal (e.g. Teraterm on Windows) with the following configuration: Baud rate: 115200...

  • Page 5 B7: INTERLOCK_TRIGGERED (err = 80) Modulation inputs The CTL200 has two current modulation inputs available on SMA connectors: DC modulation input for modulation between DC and 10 MHz. A jumper allows to choose between 3 modulation gains (Low = 250 µA/V, Medium = 2.5 mA/V or High = 25 mA/V for the 200 mA version).
  • Page 6 CTL200 Interlock An optional interlock functionality can be activated with the lckon 1 command. Laser current is then disabled when the LCK pin is pulled low. The figure below shows the use of the interlock with an external opto-isolator: Once laser current has been disabled, the serial command lason 1 must be sent to re-enable the laser current.
