Socketdriver RMC Laser Diode Driver and TEC Temperature Controller

Product information "Socketdriver RMC Laser Diode Driver and TEC Temperature Controller"

Output Current LD 2 A; Output Current TEC ±3 A; Benchtop Mount; Compatible with Butterfly Lasers; Current Stability 0.5%

Fibotec Fiberoptics’ Socketdriver RMC laser diode driver and TEC temperature controller can be controlled through a digital electronic interface or the front panel. A customer-owned laser diode or SLD (Butterfly BF Package) can easily be plugged to an internal socket and the fiber pigtail connected with the front panel fiber adapter (standard is SC). The LSDP-version is used with laser diodes having pump laser pinout, the LSDS-version is used with signal lasers.

The Socketdriver RMC can be easily controlled by commands through the serial interface. The driver is powered by 12 VDC, an additional (external) switching power supply for wall-plug operation is an available option (depends on country of use). Also, other fiber adapters can be reviewed as an option.

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.

Fibogain ERFA EDFA Modules
Erbium-doped; 1530-1560 nm; Output Power ≥17 dBm; Signal Gain ≥25 dB; Return Loss -60 dB; Polarization Sensitivity 0.07 dB; Isolation 40 dB; Module or Instrument Form Factor Fibotec Fiberoptics’ Fibogain ERFA series of EDFA modules and instruments make use of the optical gain in an Erbium-doped fiber that is pumped by either 980 nm or 1480 nm light sources. Thus, incoming light of a longer wavelength in the C- or L-band is amplified and enhances the transmission span of fiber optic links. EDFAs typically operate in saturation, and the average power of a signal determines the average gain. Bit to bit dynamics or inter-channel crosstalk in DWDM-systems do not change the dynamics of an EDFA. This also enables the amplification of channel-bundles within the entire emission wavelength range of Erbium superimposing simple single-channel links. The average output power in both cases is determined by the saturation power of the specific EDFA design however. The majority of EDFAs is applied in fiberoptic links. Other applications can also be found - mainly in fiberoptic test & measurement setups and other instruments that include eye-safe free space measurement installations.
