ILX Lightwave LDC-3700 Series User Manual

Chapter 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains operation and maintenance information for the LDC-3700 Series Laser Diode Controllers
and optional Model 1231 GPIBAEEE-488.2 Interface. If you
want to get started right away, read Chapter 2, which
co1,ers Operation, first.
In the following chapters there are three areas of discussion, one for functions which are common to both the TEC
and the LASER controller, one for the functions which pertain to the TEC controller only, and one for functions
which pertain to the LASER current source only.
1.2 Product Overview
The LDC-3700 Series Laser Diode Controllers are a combination current source/temperature controller.
The
current source provides a high stability output with a fully redundant current limit and multiple laser protection
features. The built-in temperature controller can work with most thermistors and
TE modules to deliver precision
laser temperature control over a wide range of temperatures. The LDC-3700 Series' fast, sophisticated
GPIB option
lets you automate your experiment.
