Overview
The LDC and TEC series laser diode drivers and TEC controllers are designed to precisely
and reliably drive diode lasers and Peltier cooler elements. They are available as bench-
top units and as OEM units. All devices have an integrated
QCW
pulse generator and can
be run from QCW pulsed to CW mode. External digital and analog modulation
functionality
is
also included on all models. The standard RS232 interface can be used for
configuration, operation and monitoring. A USB interface is optionally available on all
models. Every LDC and TEC unit passes a burn-in inspection, a full functional test and a
final calibration prior to shipment.
