2 Chapter 1 General Information
• Internal function generator
• 2.0 Amps at 4 Volts (8 Watt) highly stable TEC
• 200 mA to 2 Amp low noise LDD
The Model 8000 Modular Controller is a result of Newport’s continuing commitment
to provide advanced laser diode instrumentation at affordable prices. The fully
isolated bays are designed to accept a wide variety of modules.
Advanced designs guarantee that the Model 8000 will accommodate future modules
making this controller the most complete instrument for laser diode control,
characterization, and testing far into the future.
High Power Temperature Controller Fulfills All Your Thermo
Electric (TE) Cooling Needs
The 40 Watt Model 8350 Temperature Controller module is offered to meet your
most demanding TE cooling needs. It may be operated in one of three modes:
• Constant Temperature
• Constant Resistance
• Constant TE Current
Short term stability is less than 0.004°C while long term stability is better than
0.01°C. Four sensor types are compatible with this TEC module:
• Thermistors
• AD590 series
• LM335 series
• 100
Ω
Platinum RTDs
With the sensor’s calibration constants, the actual laser diode temperature is
displayed in °C on the front panel.
Full Feature LDD Modules Offer Complete Test and
Characterization Capabilities
Advanced circuit designs and careful layout of 8500 series modules provide you with
an extremely low noise, highly stable output current. Current outputs range from 200
mA to 6 Amps. An external analog modulation input allows precision control of the
laser output for a variety of applications including power level control and
wavelength tuning. A monitor photodiode may be zero biased for CW low noise
applications or reversed biased up to 5 volts for high frequency modulation. All laser
diode parameters are accessible with 16-bit resolution including the laser diode’s
forward voltage for full characterization using any of the 8500 series modules. Dual
modules have all the same features except for external modulation and offer two
independent channels in one module.
