Atec ILX-Lightwave-LDC-3916 - Manual

Product Features
16 Channels of Laser Diode Control
The LDC-3916 16-Channel Laser Diode Controller
packs 16 channels of laser diode current source and tem-
perature control into a space-saving 3U-high instrument.
An on-board processor powers each module, simplifying
future module additions and accelerating performance. A
variety of “smart” modules are available. These include
controller modules with up to 1.5 A of laser current source,
with 9 W of TEC control; dual laser current source mod-
ules with two isolated currents of up to 1 A; a dual 9
W TEC module; a 3 A laser current module; and 3 A
24 W TEC module. Additional modules are currently in
development.
An independent, isolated power supply powers each
module, delivering unparalleled stability. This design
brings even greater levels of laser diode protection
through our adjustable compliance voltage feature. Com-
munications and instrument operations are controlled
by a separate mainframe processor, paired with a
powerful GPIB chipset that is fully tested to ensure
IEEE 488.2 compliance.
