1, 10, 100, and 200 MHz. Figure 3 Block Diagram of the GSL Series Laser Head Power Power is supplied by the external, +15 V, wall-mounted DS15 Power Supply included with the unit and shown in the left image of Figure 4. - Page 8 The shorting device (interlock pin) installed in all units shipped from Thorlabs performs this function. Leave the shorting device installed unless using an external safety circuit or other type of remotely controlled switch to enable laser output.
- Page 9 Use the included 2.5 mm flathead screwdriver to operate these controls. All of the GSL series offers controls for varying the pulse width. Use the included 2.5 mm flathead screwdriver to operate this control also, as shown in Figure 7. The range of pulse widths for each model are listed in the specifications table in Section 5.1.
- Page 10 16 – CW Status LED The operational state of the GSL series of lasers is indicated through the multicolor (Red/Green/Amber) “STATUS” LED on the back panel of the laser. Following typical thermal stabilization and laser emission delay, this LED should be OFF (-).
