This part of the instruction manual contains every specific information on how to

handle and use a LS5000 card. A general description is followed by explanations of

how to operate the unit remotely.

Attention

This manual contains “WARNINGS” and “ATTENTION” label in this

form, to indicate dangers for persons or possible damage of equip-

ment.

Please read these advises carefully!

1.1 Safety

1 General description

1.1 Safety

Attention 

The modules ‘LS5000’ are class 1M laser sources.

Emitted wavelength: 1 single wavelength in the range

1454 nm … 1625 nm, according to ordered wavelength.

Emitted optical power: up to 20 mW, according to ordered output

power! Numerical aperture of the beam 0.11.

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION

DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH

OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS!

CLASS 1M LASER PRODUCT

CAUTION – The use of optical instruments with these products will

increase eye hazard!!

LS5000 / page 1

1.1 Safety

Attention 

The laser modules supplied by Thorlabs are class 1M laser systems.

However, if you collimate or focus the laser beam you will create a

class 3R or class 3B laser system!

In that case additional safety measures have to be observed!

For the individual wavelength and output power see the certificate of

calibration supplied with the module!

Never switch on the output with no fiber connected and switch off

the output before disconnecting the fiber!

NOTE

The products are classified and labeled according to

IEC 60825-1/Am2 (2001).

If you need an additional aperture label according to CFR § 1040.10.g (5)

please use the adhesive labels delivered with the TXP LS5000 and place

them clearly visible for any possible user on your laser set-up!.

LS5000 / page 2

1.1 Safety

Attention 

All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in

this instruction manual will only apply when the unit is operated

correctly.

Before applying power to your TXP system, make sure that the

protective conductor of the 3 conductor mains power cord is correct-

ly connected to the protective earth contact of the socket outlet!

Improper grounding can cause electric shock with damages to your

health or even death!

All modules must be fixed with all screws provided for this purpose.

Modules of the 5000 series must only be operated in mainframes of

the TXP series.

All modules must only be operated with duly shielded connection

cables.

Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single

components be carried out or components not supplied by Thorlabs

be used.

This precision device is only dispatchable if duly packed into the

complete original packaging including the plastic form parts. If

necessary, ask for a replacement package.

LS5000 / page 3

1.1 Safety

Attention 

Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters are

not to be used within the range of three meters of this unit since the

electromagnetic field intensity may then exceed the maximum

allowed disturbance values according to IEC 61326-1.

The TXP must not be operated in explosion

endangered environments.

LS5000 / page 4

1.2 Features

•Mains filter

Protection against line transients and interferences.

•Line failure protection

In case of line failure/line damage the laser module is switched off and must

explicitly be switched on anew.

•Action check

After power up the laser modules are in LASER OFF mode.

•LabVIEW®- and LabWindows/CVI®-driver

For the TXP-series cards Thorlabs supplies LabVIEW®- and

LabWindows/CVI®-drivers for MS Windows 32.

Please refer to our homepage for the latest driver updates.

http://www.thorlabs.com

The laser fibers are connected via FC/APC connectors at the front of the module.

(Other connectors optional).

Each module is protected against overheating of the output stage by an automatic

shutdown. The LED "ERR" indicates that the module is switched off. After a decline

in temperature of about 10 °C the LED "ERR" extinguishes and the output can be

reactivated

The laser wavelength of the LS5000 module is adjusted by operating the laser diode

at a certain temperature. The wavelength is user adjustable.

The TXP contains a forced air cooling system with built-in fans. Depending on the

temperature the air flow of the fans is adapted automatically.

All settings can be changed via remote control from a PC.

LS5000 / page 5

1.2 Features

The mains filter installed in the mainframe and the careful shielding of the

transformer, the microprocessors as well as the module itself provide an excellent

suppression of noise and ripple.

On request, all LS5000 modules can be supplied in a variety of versions, e.g. with

different powers or wavelengths.
