Laser Diodes & Sources
Laser Diode/TEC Controllers – Benchtop Kit
The LDCB series benchtop laser source is designed for easy coupling and precise control of a laser diode. Each system features a single FC/APC connector output and incorporates high-precision, low-noise auto-feedback in the drive electronics to ensure constant output power or a constant driving current. An integrated temperature control unit maintains optimal operating conditions. The system provides up to 1A driving current and up to 2A TEC cooling current. The user interface includes an intuitive LCD display for independent control of output power and temperature via two front rotating knobs. The LDCB also includes a universal power supply compatible with 100 to 240 VAC. Convenient rear-panel fuse access is provided. Additionally, reflection-induced laser emissions instability can be prevented with an optional built-in isolator.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Laser Diode/TEC Controllers – Benchtop Kit to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- User interface: Front-panel digital displays and manual adjustment controls
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Control interface
- Temperature control: Precision closed-loop TEC controller up to 2 A
- Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
