Page 13: Description
Description A SuperK SPLIT is a passive filter accessory for SuperK lasers. It divides the super continuum spectral emission from a SuperK laser into two separate wavelength ranges emitted from separate optical output ports. Each output emits a broadband subset of the original super continuum beam source. -
Page 14: Features
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... -

Page 16: Optical Apertures
Interfaces 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 a 25 mm or a 1” pitch. NIR/IR output shutter This shutter can be set to block or unblock the NIR/IR emission output aperture. -
Page 17: Electrical Interfaces
Interfaces Optical input aperture The Optical input aperture is a receptacle that houses the output collimator of a SuperK laser. The laser’s output collimator is inserted into the aperture until it clicks and locks in place. To remove the collimator, press the release button. The laser’s collimator barrel can be secured by tightening the lock screw. -

Status LEDs Optical input aperture “Optical input aperture” on page Bus through port Connects additional accessories to the External bus in a daisy chain configuration. A bus defeater is connected to this port if no other accessories are used with the SuperK laser. When no bus defeater is placed at the end of the External bus daisy chain, the interlock loop circuit is left open and emission disabled at the SuperK laser. -

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. -

Page 25: Figure 11: Collimator Alignment Key And Slot
Electrical Connections When the key is aligned with the slot, the axial orientation of the collimator is correctly aligned. 5. Push the collimator into the receptacle until its collar rests against the chassis. As you push it in, the collimator encounters some resistance, and two distinct clicks as it locks in place. -
