Description

ILX Lightwave LDC-3900 Mainframe. No modules, manual or other accessories. 1 key with unit. Unit powers on. Fan quiet. No further testing possible.

The ILX Lightwave LDC-3900 is a modular laser diode controller designed for flexible and precise control of laser diodes and their associated temperature regulation systems. This system is particularly valued in applications requiring simultaneous management of multiple laser diodes with high stability and low noise.

Key Features:

• Modular Design: The LDC-3900 features four rear-loading module bays, allowing users to customize the controller with a variety of interchangeable modules tailored to specific requirements.

• Current Source Modules: Available modules provide laser current outputs ranging from 200 mA up to 8 A, supporting both constant current and constant power operating modes.

• Temperature Control Modules: The system offers thermoelectric (TE) controller modules capable of delivering up to 32 W of power, compatible with various temperature sensors such as thermistors, IC sensors, and RTDs.

• Combination Modules: For integrated control, combination modules are available that provide up to 2 A laser current alongside a 12 W TE controller, facilitating streamlined management of both laser operation and temperature stabilization.

• Isolation and Protection: Each channel operates independently with electrical isolation, minimizing the risk of ground loops and enhancing laser diode protection.

• Interface and Control: Standard GPIB IEEE-488.2 interface enables remote operation and integration into automated test setups.

Applications:

The LDC-3900 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Laser diode characterization and testing

• Fiber optic communications development
