Pin 4 and pin 8 are used for 4-wire measurement of the laser diode
bias voltage. If these are left disconnected, the voltage sensing is
performed (through resistors) from pin 5 and pin 9. Be careful that
CAUTION
the connection from the LDC500 to your device preserves the wiring
polarity, with pin 5 connecting to the laser diode
cathode
, and pin 9
connecting to the laser diode
anode
.
The interlock function requires a low-resistance electrical connection
between pins 1 and 2 for the laser to operate. Neither of these pins
may be allowed to contact ground or any other signal.
See Figure 2.2 in section 2.1.2 for further examples.

TEC
The DB–15 female connector marked “THERMOELECTRIC COOLER”
provides the electrical connection to the TEC and thermometer in

the laser assembly. For best performance, the TEC cable should be
an independent, separately-shielded cable assembly from the laser
diode cable.
