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.
