Newport's Laser Diode Burn-In Rack System houses 64 channels in one 43U rack. The rack contains control and measurement electronics, test fixtures, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

The (16) Dual Output 8530D Laser Diode Driver (LDD) modules in the (4) Newport 9008 Modular Controllers provide 64-Channels @ 3,000 mA of current and a compliance voltage of up to 3.5 V. Both Constant Power (APC) and Constant Current (ACC) modes are available. Constant power mode operation utilizes a large area silicon photodiode, which is part of the test fixture. Forward current, forward voltage, and optical power are all measured at a resolution of 16-bits.

The (8) 8350 TEC modules in the Newport 9008 Modular Controllers provide up to 2A of current and a compliance voltage of up to 4V. The temperature of each laser diode is measured and recorded for increased temperature accuracy.

Newport's Modular Drawer Interface makes interchanging devices fast and effortless. These Modular Drawer laser diode fixtures can be designed to work with any package needed by the user.  Newport can be contacted regarding purchasing new drawers to interface to this system, or a custom fixture can be designed by the end-user interfacing to the standard D-sub connectors. On the back side of each Drawer, there are (4) 26-pin and (2) 15-pin D-sub connectors. Of these, (4) connect to eight Dual 8530D Laser Diode Driver Modules in the Model 9008 chassis (to drive the laser diodes), (1) connects to an 8350 TEC Driver Module in the Model 9008 chassis and (1) is open.

The (8) Modular, Removable Drawers are designed to hold laser diodes for the purpose of burn-in. Each drawer has a 2-connector socket (both 96-pin connectors) that accommodate a customer laser diode mount board. The units do not include these boards, but developing one for a specific package would be simple. Each fixture has one peltier cooler to control the plate temperature of the custom board. The fixtures can also accommodate up to (8) large area 10mm photodiodes.

An uninterruptible power supply is supplied to act as a continuous voltage regulator and transient suppressor. In the event of power failure, the UPS switches to battery backup power and notifies the computer.

A Pentium laptop computer is included with the system and is located in one of the rack drawers for easy access. Communication with the system and is handled over an IEE488 interface. A comprehensive software package allows complete control, measurement, and analysis including laser diode burn-in life testing.
