This page describes the KFLARE light source, which is essentially a compact two-channel version of the FLARE laser illumination box. It will control two solid-state lasers using an identical control circuit to the four-channel Laser/TEC module. It will contain an integrated system controller and interlock logic similar to that used on the full-sized system. It will provide control for a Dolan-Jenner LMI-6000

Design Notes:

  • Output to white light source is 4 bits, optically-isolated from the system controller.
  • Voltage regulators need a bit of re-work. Most likely +6/-6 will be supplied and 3 regulators will be needed:
    • +5V digital (fixed positive 1A LDO 5V regulator)
    • +5V analog (fixed positive 0.25A LDO 5V regulator)
    • -5V analog (fixed negative 0.25A LDO 5V regulator)
