Laser Diode Driver LDD/ILD

The LDD laser diode driver is a combination current and temperature controller with sophisticated front-panel menu operation and plain text computer command interface via ethernet and USB. A high-precision current source drives a wide range of diodes at up to 8A. The flexible computer-defined PID temperature controller provides capacity for a wide range of TEC devices up to 60 W.

Main Features:

– Low noise current source, 8A and 5V
– Temperature controller with 60W TEC driver
– Digital PID temperature servo
– 100mA analogue modulation depth, 40kHz bandwidth
– Ergonomic controls, LCD display
– Computer control via ethernet and USB
– Photodetector input for laser power monitoring
– Safety features including key start, external interlock and photodetector monitoring
– Compact complete package: 25x8x29cm, 2.4kg, 90-250Vac, 50/60Hz
