8 Channels of Laser Diode Control
On Your Bench or in Your Rack
The LDC-3908 8-Channel Laser Diode Controller has
all of the same great features as our popular LDC-3916
16-Channel Laser Diode Controller. In fact, modules
are interchangeable between the two instruments. The
smaller size and lighter weight of the LDC-3908 make it
an ideal instrument for smaller channel count applications
such as R&D or production test of EDFAs and Raman
amplifiers.
Handles on the front panel and flip-up feet on the
bottom facilitate bench-top use, while flanges facilitate
installation into standard 19 inch instrument racks. “Smart”
modules include controller modules with up to 1.5 A of
laser current source and 9 W of TEC control, dual current
source modules with two isolated currents of up to 1 A,
dual TEC modules. Also, additional modules are currently
in development, including a 3 A current source.
See the LDM-3916 brochure for more information on
features and module specifications.
