Product Overview
2-CHANNEL CW and PULSED Low Noise Laser Diode Controller
These two-channel laser diode control and mounting modules are designed for precision control of two butterfly=packaged laser diodes. They are used in a wide range of fiber laser and amplifier R&D and applications. The two laser control channels include a 1,500mA (CW)laser diode driver and a 3,500mA (PULSED & CW) driver. The pulsed driver is capable of producing nanosecond pulses at up to 200MHz pulse repetition rate. Both laser driver channels include precision TEC controller and zero-insertion force sockets for butterfly packaged laser diodes.
Fiber Laser and Amplifier Applications
This two-channel laser driver is well suited for nearly any type of fiber laser architectures: Mode-locked, Q Switch, MOPA, EOM modulation, Gain Switch, Microchip oscillators etc. The MultiDIODE-2 delivers high performance control for fiber laser pumps in terms of noise, precision, response time, interlocks etc. Each laser driver channel is equipped with a high-stability temperature controller to ensure the highest level of power and wavelength stability. The controller includes a powerful set of additional features for amplifier and fiber laser applications. These include up to six photodiode inputs as well as pulse synchronization. This allows the MultiDIODE-2 to quickly integrated into laser systems.
Complete Laser Diode Protection
The integrated laser diode protection circuits protect your device at all times. The user-set current limit and user-set temperature limit clamp both the bias current and the operating temperature to prevent damage to the laser. Soft-start current ramp to the drive current set-point protects the laser from the possibility of thermal shock or current surges. Finally, the integration of the mounting socket directly with the current source eliminates the need for cables and connectors from the current path, which greatly reduces the likelihood of ESD damage to the laser from plugging and unplugging cables, and prevents external electronic noise affecting the diode drive current signal.
USB Interface and Versatile Controller Software
The controller is equipped with a USB interface, and delivered with easy-to-use GUI software. Several software conrol libraries are provided for custom control software development, including Labview, DLLs, Hexa, and Python.
