More Information

ThorLabs LDC 200 VCSEL Laser Diode Controller Overview

Features:

  • Extremely Precise Controllers for Laser Diodes and LEDs
  • Multiple Protection Circuits
  • Easy to Use Due to the Clearly Structured Front Panel
The ThorLabs LDC2xx Series Blueline Laser Diode Controllers are extremely precise controllers for laser diodes and LEDs. If a temperature controller by Thorlabs is used additionally the injection current or the optical output power and the temperature of the connected laser diode can be controlled simultaneously.

The LDC200V is designed for safe operation of VCSEL laser diodes.
The LDC201U provides ultra low noise current (<0.2&micrp;A RMS).
The new suffix "B" controllers offer an enhanced compliance voltage (>10V) for use with blue laser diodes.

To protect the laser diode against damage the LDC2xx Series provides the following protection circuits: softstart function, adjustable limitation of injection current, interlock (open circuit monitoring of the laser diode mount connection), electronic shortcircuit for the laser diode in off-mode, separate key to switch the laser diode current on and off, and monitoring LED for LASER ON mode.

The LDC2xx is easy to use due to the clearly structured front panel.

Operating parameters are shown on an illuminated 4 1/2-digit LCD display. The parameter to be displayed is selected with a toggle switch.

The switch on/off delay and the softstart function protect the laser diode against undesired transients.

An independent hardware limit for the inject ion current can be set with a 20-turn potentiometer. This protects the laser diode against operating errors.

With the output open the laser diode is shortcircuited electronically so no voltage is applied to the laser diode.

The ThorLabs LDC 200 VCSEL Laser Diode Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
