Operation

Optimizing the Optical Power Output

The HL-2000-HP-232 is adjusted at the factory to provide maximum power into a 200µm fiber. If a lower
optical power is required or a different fiber (bundle) diameter is used, you can adjust the optical power of
the unit.

Procedure

Follow the steps below to adjust the optical power of the HL-2000-HP-232 Light Source:

1. Connect a fiber optic spectrometer or an optical power meter to a fiber, and then connect the other

end of the fiber to the HL-2000-HP-232’s SMA plug.

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