LDTC2/2 Laser Diode Drivers and TEC Temperature Controllers

Product information "LDTC2/2 Laser Diode Drivers and TEC Temperature Controllers"

Output Current LD 2.2 A; Benchtop or Chassis Mounting; Output Current TEC ±2.2 A; Laser Compatibility Type A, B

Wavelength Electronics’ LDTC2/2 series of module type laser diode drivers and TEC temperature controllers includes both a laser diode driver and a temperature controller that each drive up to 2.2 A. This series combines the drive power of the WLD3343 laser driver with the temperature stability of the WTC3243 TEC drivers on one small board. While LDTC 2/2 E includes the chassis enclosure, LDTC 2/2 O consists of the open frame electronics only. For lower laser diode current (500 mA / 1 A), the LDTC series of laser diode driver and TEC temperature controllers is available. Integrated controls make this a plug-and-play module – users have only to add a power supply, laser diode, thermoelectric cooler, sensor and heatsinking. All cable sets are included. The LDMOUNT-5A, a 14-pin butterfly laser diode mount with integrated heat sinking, is available for simple connections between the LDTC2/2 and the laser.

The temperature controller is compatible with thermistors, RTDS or linear temperature sensors such as the LM335 or AD590. Adjust temperature using onboard trimpot or a remote voltage input. This voltage input has added default protection for when a D/A remote setpoint is turned off, unplugged or goes down and it automatically sets the temperature to control near ambient. Default is +25 °C for a 10 kΩ thermistor (1 V). Adjustable trimpots configure heat and cool limits.

The laser diode driver maintains precision laser diode current (constant current mode) or stable photodiode current (constant power mode) using electronics compatible with A/B type lasers. The LDTC2/2 delays and slowly ramps the current for maximum protection. Onboard trimpots set current limit and setpoint. Alternately, you can switch to remote inputs for the laser driver current setpoint. Customization to 3 A laser diode output current using the WLD3343-3A is available.

Use either the onboard enable/disable switch or a remote input. An LED indicates status of the laser diode output current. Switches select constant current or constant power mode. Remote computer control is available using the USBKIT, which also allows graphing and datalogging.

1,5A QCL Driver - QCL1500
The QCL OEM Series drivers use patented1 circuitry to produce the lowest current noise density of any commercially available QCL driver. The 500 mA QCL driver exhibits noise performance of 0.5 µA RMS to 100 kHz, and average current noise density of 1 nA / √Hz - the lowest available. In order to maintain their characteristically tight center linewidths and minimize jitter, quantum cascade lasers must be powered by drivers with exceptionally low current noise density. Our customers have reported achieving narrower linewidths with these drivers than any other they've used.Key Features Off-the-shelf models at 500 mA, 1 A, 1.5 A, 2 A Can be delivered in other current ranges up to 2 A Compliance voltage 16 V (standard), Compliance 7-20 V with factory modification Safety features protect your QCL investment Adjustable soft-clamping current limit Brown-out, reverse-voltage, & over-voltage protection Driver over-temperature protection circuit Relay shorts output when current is disabled Local and Remote Power-On and Enable control,TTL-compatible Analog modulation input between -5V and +5V.
