ARL Eye Safer Fiber Laser Testbed Lab View Automation and Control
Abstract
The Eye Safer Fiber Laser Testbed is the state-of-the-art 1.2 kW, 1530-nm diode pumped fiber laser facility under construction at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The laser testbed consists of 40 fiber-coupled diode laser modules, a high power multimode fiber combiner, 20 power supplies, and a water chiller. It is required that all this high power equipment to operate together to produce laser output. A LabView program and control electronics has been developed and built for the testbed auto operation, monitoring, and testing. In addition, laser interlock safety for the kilowatt power operation has also been implemented in the emergency shutdown automation process.
