3  Operating the LDC2xx 

3.1 Connecting components 

3.1.1  9-pole SUB-D output jack 

The laser diode controller LDC2xx by 

Thorlabs GmbH

 can (according to the version) 

drive

 

all laser diodes up to a maximum current rate of 2 A. 

 
If laser mounts by 

Thorlabs GmbH

 are used just connect the input "LD DRIVER" of 

the laser mount to the output jack "LD OUTPUT" (R5) with the cable CAB400.  
 
If  a laser mount TCLDM9 by 

Thorlabs 

is  used, the polarity of laser diode and 

photodiode  must additionally be set with two s lide  switches inside the laser mount 
(refer to the individual operation manual). 
 
If  other laser diode mounts are used connec t  the laser diode and if provided the 
photodiode  with shielded cables to "LD OUTPUT" (R5) according to the pin 
assignment shown in Figure 3.
