ThorLabs MCLS1 Multi-Channel Fiber-Coupled Laser Source w/ (4) MCLS1-635 Overview
Features:
- Four Independently Controlled Laser Diodes
- Intuitive LCD Interface
- USB Connection Allows Remote Adjustment of Power, Temperature, and Enabling
- Meets 3B Laser Class Requirements for Safety
- Fabry-Perot or DFB Laser Modules
Each laser diode is operated from an independent, high-precision, low-noise, constant-current source and temperature control unit. An intuitive LCD interface allows the user to view and set the laser current and temperature control independently for each laser. The display indicates the channel number selected, the output wavelength of the source, the operating power calculated from the laser diode monitor diode, and the actual temperature to which the laser is set.
This device includes a microcontroller to fully control the laser’s optical power, its temperature, and to monitor the system for fault conditions. The laser source includes a USB connection that allows remote adjustment of power, temperature, and enabling. On the rear panel, analog inputs are available to modulate the lasers with an external signal. To prevent damage, the microcontroller will disable the output if the analog input plus the internal setpoint exceeds the laser limits.
The ThorLabs MCLS1 Multi-Channel Fiber-Coupled Laser Source w/ (4) MCLS1-635 may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

What Customers Are Saying
- Young L.
Artisan isn’t just a supplier with inventory. Their engineers helped diagnose a problem over the phone that would have taken us weeks to figure out!
- Karen C. Google
I find the employees helpful and knowledgeable about their products.
- Neo Google
Contacted Artisan for hard to find that has been out of circulation for nearly a decade. Their rapid response and availability exceeded all other suppliers. They supplied the part overnight to an out of state facility which allowed us to repair our equipment successfully. Well packed electronics. Well stated and professional documentation. I work with a hundred different suppliers any day of the week in my profession. Artisan remains at the very top of the bookmark tab. Thanks so much.
