Introducing the LDC500 Series Laser Diode Controllers
— highly stable, low-noise current sources, with integrated
temperature controllers — all at very affordable prices.
The LDC500 series are the ideal instruments for controlling
the current and temperature of your laser diodes. They have
the performance and features you expect from instruments
costing twice as much. The LDC501 has up to 500 mA of
output current with less than 1.1 µA of rms noise, while the
LDC500 has up to 100 mA of current and less than 0.3 µA of
noise. The LDC502 provides up to 2 A of current.
With a low-noise current source, a 36 W high-precision
temperature controller, and standard computer interfaces
including Ethernet, the LDC500 series is the right choice for
your laser diode testing and control applications.
Easy-To-Use Interface
The LDC500 series have an intuitive user interface, and many
first time users will be able to operate the instrument without
having to crack open the manual (although we do recommend
reading the manual). Unlike competitive models, the LDC500
series controllers have a dedicated front-panel display for
parameter entry. You don’t have to sacrifice monitoring
temperature or current to simply change an instrument
setting — you have a separate two-line, blue alpha-numeric
display for that. In addition, bright 5-digit green LED displays
constantly monitor current and temperature, and are large
enough to easily read from anywhere in the lab.
