Thorlabs' 4-Channel, Fiber-Coupled, Customizable Laser Source provides easy
coupling and simple control of laser-diode-driven fiber optics. The laser source is
configured to accept a wide range of fiber-pigtailed laser diodes with discrete
wavelengths in the spectral range from 405 - 1550 nm, in any combination. The laser
source allows more than one channel to be turned on simultaneously; however, it is only possible to adjust the power output of one at a time from the front
panel.
Each laser diode is operated from an independent, high-precision, low-noise, constant-current source and temperature control unit. An intuitive LCD interface
allows the user to view and set the laser current and temperature independently for each laser. The display indicates the channel number selected, the output
wavelength of the source, the operating power calculated from the laser diode monitor diode, and the actual temperature the laser is set to.
This device incorporates a microcontroller to fully control the laser's optical power and temperature as well as to monitor the system for fault conditions. The
laser source includes a USB connection that allows remote enabling, power adjustment, and temperature adjustment. On the rear panel, analog inputs are
