TC LAB Temperature Controllers

10 A; 1 channel; 15 V; benchtop/rackmount The TC LAB series of temperature controllers integrates high-end Digital Control with a precision output current drive stage to offer the best stability temperature control instrument commercially available today. Many different sensors can be used in the feedback loop including thermistors, RTDs, linear current and voltage sensors. The TC10 LAB) drives 10 A maximum with 15 V compliance.

Output Current TEC ±5 A; Benchtop or Rack Mount; Supply Voltage 115/230 VAC; RS232, USB Communication Interface; Temperature Stability 0.001 °C Wavelength Electronics’ LFI3751 series are high-performance instrument type temperature controllers with Autotune PID. Drive up to ±5 A to either thermoelectrics (TECs) or resistive heaters (RH) with up to 8 V compliance. This instrument operates from AC (115/230 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz). Expect stability as good as 0.001 °C with thermistors. Even across ambient, this PID controller maintains precision temperature. From the front panel, adjust temperature limits, current limits, setpoint, PID control values, sensor calibration data, and enable or disable output current. An external analog setpoint input is via BNC on the rear panel (LFI3751 ANALOG version only). The 4-digit display shows actual or setpoint temperature or resistance, output current and voltage. The LFI3751 series offers unique features. Autotune PID is a sophisticated algorithm for optimizing the PID control parameters to your load. With the touch of a button, the LFI3751 automatically optimises control settings for most thermal loads, reducing overshoot or improving temperature stability. Autoranging sensor bias currents keep your sensor voltage in the optimal range for maximum signal to noise ratio. It comes with addressable RS232, and USB control is available with an adapter cable. Free LabVIEW drivers simplify computer control. Benchlink software simulates the front panel control from your PC. Sensor calibration is easy with a reference right on the front panel. For example, to calibrate your thermistor, simply enter three data points from the Resistance vs. Temperature curve. The LFI3751 calculates the Steinhart-Hart coefficients and displays either actual temperature or sensor resistance. Also, view thermoelectric current and voltage and limit current settings. A digital PID option is available in the LFI3751 DIGITAL temperature controller. This option provides better set point resolution and stability with low-resolution sensors such as RTDs as well as improved overshoot suppression, 50% faster settling times and faster calibration. When controlling laser diode temperature, the LDMOUNT-5A, a 14-pin butterfly laser diode mount with integrated heat sinking, is available for simple connections between the LFI3751 series and the laser. Wavelength also offers the TC LAB series of temperature control instruments with higher current and voltage capacity, a touchscreen interface, IntelliTune PID control optimization, and better stability. Free, effective and responsive technical support is available to simplify integration of Wavelength products into your OEM design. Standard products can be easily modified to meet your application requirements. Get in touch with the AMS Technologies temperature controller experts to discuss your customized solution!

Pigtail/Receptacle Versions; Fiber Type SM, MM or PM; Tilt Adjustment Feature for Many Couplers; Pigtail Versions Optional with Pre-configured Connectors (P)FPD fiber to photodiode couplers are available for virtually any photodiode on the market, using either SM, MM or PM fiber. The coupler design is both rugged and flexible, allowing customers to do their own alignment if desired. For OEM applications, miniature pigtail style fiber to photodiode couplers are available that do not use the tilt adjustment technique. These feature both a smaller size and lower cost.Our fiber to photodiode couplers come in three basic designs. The most common design consists of two baseplates (one holding the photodiode and the other one containing the focusing optics and the connector for the input fiber), separated by a resilient O-ring. OZ Optics’ patented tilt adjustment technique is used to achieve the maximum coupling efficiency (typical >80% for SM fibers, depending on fiber and photodiode characteristics) even for very small spot sizes of <10 µm. For the second design, the fiber, lens and photodiode are glued into a single assembly without the tilt adjustment technique. The third and final design uses no lens at all. The fiber is simply butted against the photodiode. Both of these designs are intended for OEM applications. For optimum coupling efficiency, stability, and minimum backreflection, we recommend using pigtail style fiber to photodiode couplers, available with a wide variety of fiber types and cable sizes, also preterminated with different types of connectors. Receptacle style versions are typically only available for multimode applications, or large active area photodiodes. AMS Technologies welcomes opportunities to fiber couple into your specific photodiode. Please contact us with details of the fiber required and the photodiode specifications, and we will determine the best, most cost effective method of fiber coupling.

1.4-12 µm; Output Power 20-850 mW; Repetition Frequency 100, 200 MHz; Pulse Duration 1-5 ps; Beam Diameter 1-6 mm Chromacity has developed a range of tunable laser sources which span the short to long IR wavelength regions. The Chromacity Auskerry (formerly the Near-IR OPO) is Chromacity’s flagship tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO) which generates light across 1.4 µm – 4.2 µm (7150 cm-1– 2400 cm-1). The Chromacity Auskerry tunable laser source can be integrated into an FTIR spectrometer, providing the ability to interrogate multiple chemical signatures in real time (at a high resolution). It has a broad bandwidth across the 3µm-3.5µm to quantify gases such as of methane, ethane and benzene in a single measurement with resolutions of 0.05cm-1. The high powers of the Chromacity Auskerry have demonstrated open-path stand-off detection measurements beyond 100m. The Chromacity Haskeir (formerly the Mid-IR OPO) is powered by a new generation of non-linear crystals which generate broad bandwidth coherent light across the long wavelength regions between 4.5 µm and 12 µm (2200 cm-1 to 850 cm-1). Spectroscopy across the fingerprint regime provides that ability to characterize volatile organic compounds with complex chemical signatures, and the high brightness of the Chromacity Haskeir OPO across 4.5 to 12µm can be used in a number of these set-ups. It can also be used to characterize and differentiate between compounds, such as VX and Sarin, as well as pharmaceutical powders such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Both picosecond OPOs deliver high power, broad band coherent light and are optically pumped by Chromacity’s high-power Chromacity 1040 femtosecond laser, which is fully integrated into the optical head to maximize stability and reduce the overall system footprint. Fiber delivery capability reinforces the inherent stability of Chromacity’s OPO systems and seamless OEM integration for industrial applications. Chromacity is the first laser manufacturer to remotely install ultrafast OPOs. Patent protected manufacturing and design processes have driven Chromacity to build truly robust and affordable OPO systems with drop-ship capability and plug & play functionality. With a wealth of expertise in optical parametric oscillator technology, non-linear optics and optical fiber delivery, the Chromacity team are able to consider a wide range of options to help meet your requirements.
