OOOO OOOO Swept Wavelength Laser | s3 Gate Signal This chart illustrates useful trigger, calibration, and clock signals 1. The PZT Drive voltage is applied to sweep laser wavelength. Tuning wavelength increases with increasing drive voltage. This is the P-phase of the scan. Similarly, tuning wavelength decreases with decreasing drive voltage. This is the N-phase of the scan 2. The PZT Sync Signal corresponds to drive phase, and can be used to trigger data acquisition, or as a control signal 3. The Wavelength Gate Signal Output corresponds to the custom specified lower wavelength and upper wavelength...
