Optimizing the Optical Power Out put

The HL-2000-FHSA is ad j ust ed at the factory to provide maximum power into a 200µm fiber. If a lower
optical power is requir ed or a different fiber (bundle) diameter is used, you can adjust the optical power of
the unit. Refer to HL-2000-FSHA Diagrams

► Procedure

Follow the steps below to adjust the optical power of the HL-2000-FHSA Light Source:

while using the following procedure.

1. Conn e ct a fib er opt ic spe c tr om ete r or an optic a l pow er m ete r to a fiber, and then conn ect th e oth e r

end of the fiber to the HL-2000-FHSA’s SMA plug.

1: Setup

2. Loosen the blocking screw with the provided 1.3mm Allen wrench.

3. Sh ift the SMA socket to optimize the optical power of the HL-2000-FHSA.

4. Tighten the blocking screw to secure the SMA socket position.

Attenuating the Optical Power Output

The HL-2000-FHSA allows you to attenuate the optical output of the unit by adjusting the attenuation
screw.

Procedure

►

To attenuate the optical ou tput of the HL-2000-FHSA, follow the steps bel ow:
