    JDS Argon is not doing 60mW. Tweaking questions.

    My JDS end has a black mount that has an output hole that sort of looks like a keyhole. The multiline argon beam is coming out at a slight down angle (<5 deg), and I finally found a KineFlex position of the coupler where the alignment screws could couple to it. So since my watt emission issue...

    JDS Argon is not doing 60mW. Tweaking questions.

    I think the JDS laser DB25 connector is set by Leica to regulate light output to the beam scan head on the microscope. For microscopy, this ensures the beam intensity at the specimen stays uniformly bright. I put in a variable limit resistor in series with their argon laser 10K power intensity...

    JDS Argon is not doing 60mW. Tweaking questions.

    I am trying to cook it at mid power for a day at 13mW to see if it outgasses, or should I say degasses? Add more power does nada right at the moment. At first when I got this unit, I used the Leica front panel argon laser power control which can take pin 7 on the JDSU power supply DB25 up to...

    JDS Argon is not doing 60mW. Tweaking questions.

    Power Measurements: Fluke DMM. OK, Here is what I get using Pin 11 Return (Gnd Circuit). Mega air cooling. Idle: Pin 8 0.87VDC Pin 9 0.40VDC Pin 7 command volt:0V Full: Pin 8 4.53VDC Pin 9 0.68VDC Pin 7 command volt 4.74VDC (~47mW). It seems to be peaking in power output early on the...

    JDS Argon is not doing 60mW. Tweaking questions.

    I have a JDSU Mod 2011 65ML argon laser I cadged from an NIH warehouse, but when run on light feedback mode, I can only get about 15-25mW multiline from the argon (varies which meter (Si/bolo) is reading it). It is in an older Leica confocal microscope I have pretty well resuscitated. The unit...

    JDSU Argon 60mW multi won't start

    Thanks. :D that did the trick for the Leica!...I got a bright blue beam. 1-3, 2-13 ... pins on a DB25 connector. I pointed the duct at the exhaust fan, but it shut off after a while. In this setting it is on idle? I think it shut off, probably because the fan was not set right in the unit...

    JDSU Argon 60mW multi won't start

    I have a JDSU Mod 2011 65ML (multiline) square box type Argon Kr laser and 2210 series JDSU power supply on an antique Leica TCS confocal scope I cadged from the govt junk yard. The laser is set up in remote current adj mode, but it will not fire and has only 1500 hours on it! So it is nearly...
