[Paco, Yehonathan]

==== Late elog from Friday ====

Koji provided us with a QFLD-950-3S (QPHOTONICS) salvaged from Aidan's junk pile (LD is alive according to him). We tested the Jenne laser setup with this just to decide if we should order another one, and it worked.

The laser driver anode and cathode pins (8/9, 4/5 respectively) on the rear DB9 port from the  ILX Lightwave LDX-3412 driver were connected to the corresponding anode and cathode pins in the laser package (5, and 9; note the numbers are reversed between driver and laser). Then, interlock pins 1 and 2 in the driver were shorted to enable operation. This is all illustrated in Attachments #1-2.

After setting a limit of 27.6 mA current in the driver, we slowly increased the actual current to ~ 19 mA until we could see light on a beam card. We can go ahead and get a 1060 nm replacement.
