Newport / ILX Lightwave LDC-3742B Laser Diode Controller Overview
Features:
- Laser Diode Current Source with Integrated 32W Temperature Controller
- GPIB/IEEE-488 Remote Interface
- High Stability, Low Noise Laser Current Source Operating in Constant Power or Constant Current Modes
- Analog Modulation Capability to 1MHz
- 4-Wire Laser Forward Voltage Measurement and Adjustable Voltage Limit
- Temperature Controller Compatible with Thermistor, IC, and RTD Temperature Sensors
- Temperature Stability of ±0.004°C
- TE Voltage Measurement
The LDC-3714B, LDC-3724B and LDC-3744B cover a wide range of low to medium power laser diode testing and control applications. The LDC-3714B and 3724B are targeted specifically for precision control of low to medium power laser diodes with dual range current sources of 50/100mA and 200/500mA respectively. For higher power laser diodes, the LDC-3744B provides a dual range current source of 2/4A. The LDC-3714B, LDC-3724B and LDC-3744B come with an integrated 32W temperature controller.
Independent power supplies for laser and TE current provide clean, isolated power for laser protection and stability. All of ILX Lightwave’s proven laser diode protection strategies including slow start, adjustable current limit and compliance voltage, intermittent contact protection, and output shorting relays are incorporated into each model.
The ILX Lightwave LDC-3742B Laser Diode Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
