Model LDM-4616 is a rack-mountable, 16-channel
mount for buttery packaged laser diodes. Other package
styles are supported with the LDM-4604 series of mount
modules. Each channel is equipped with a convenient
Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket, allowing easy insertion
and removal of the laser diode. Slide rollers easily move
the entire mounting tray out from the rack, simplifying laser
conguration and replacement.
Electrical signals to the lasers pass through convenient
pin conguration headers and are bussed to the rear
panel or select the LDM-4616DFB version with hard wired
DFB pinout. Standard cables, which are terminated with
paired 9-pin D-sub connectors, connect easily to any ILX
Lightwave current source and temperature controller.
Fiber management is supported by an integrated ber
tray that spools excess pigtail ber and routes connections
to the front panel. Front panel ber optic mating adapters
can be changed to many popular types or replaced with soft
grommets for feeding ber directly through the front panel.
