Product Overview
Ultra-Low Noise Laser Diode Driverย
These low RIN laser diode drivers were designed for applications which require narrow linewidth and high optical stability from the laser diode.ย They are used extensively in tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy applications. The laser diode controller and butterfly mount modules are designed for precision control of single frequency, narrow spectral linewidth laser diodes. These low noise laser diode controllers offer very low noise density performance similar to battery powered laser diode drivers. Please refer to frequency domain noise plot in the attached data sheet.
Precision Temperature Control for Maximum Wavelength Stability
These laser diode control units are equipped with a high stability temperature controller to ensure the highest level of power and wavelength stability. The temperature controller delivers up to 14 watts ofย TEC power to the laser diodes integrated TE cooler with 1 mK stability.
Comprehensive 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 user defined current set-point protects the laser from the possibility of thermal shock or current surges. 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.
