Technical Overview
OEM MOPA-SLD broadband light sources combine very high output power with wide and
flat optical spectrum. They are more powerful than single SLD based light sources,
being at least order-of-magnitude less sensitive to optical feedback at the same
time. The light output may be switched on and off externally, with the rate of up
to 50 kHz.

Remote Control Capabilities
Every OEM MOPA-SLD light source allows three possibilities for switching of light
output on and off:
- manually, by pressing the top-cover pushbutton
- remotely, by applying logic signals to the back-side Remote control port, up
to 50 kHz on/off
- remotely, from a PC (or laptop) via the side-back USB virtual serial port
All OEM MOPA-SLD light sources are supplied with the USB- and Remote-port
interfaces as standard options. For 24/7 applications, there may be a need to have
the instrument periodically checked to make sure the device is in good operational
conditions. To make this procedure as easy as possible, Superlum offers the
self-test function as a part of the Superlum companion software. The entire
process takes only a few seconds to complete. As a result, a text file with
up-to-date readings of the operational parameters is generated, from which the
time remained to end-of-life of the device may be estimated. It is recommended to
send the file to Superlum for proper interpretation of the obtained data.
Laser Safety Measures
The offered line of optical products includes the units emitting light at power
levels of up to 50 mW in the near-infrared spectral range, which is invisible by a
human eye. Basing on the values of optical power and the spectral ranges, and high
brightness of the output emission, these light sources should be classified as
Class 3B or 3R (subject to center wavelength) laser products (as per IEC 60825-1
Ed. 3 2014-05). OEM light sources of Superlum are intended for integration into
the end-user's equipment and do not have all the necessary protective features
(such as remote interlock, key operated master control, warning signals, etc.)
required by the Laser Safety standards applicable. Many of the functions required
by Laser Safety standards are possible by computer control using the Superlum
companion software, or remote communication protocol. However, it is the
end-user's liability to arrange all laser safety measures in their systems where
the Superlum OEM light sources are going to be used.
