The C470 is a pump diode driver encased in a solid aluminum housing containing the pump diode and an integrated TEC. The diode can be modulated with control over frequency, pulse width and amplitude. A multipurpose connector is available with two additional TEC/Heater elements for integrating the instrument with an external laser head. This connector also contains a software interlock connection for safety. An InGaAs photodiode is available for accepting feedback from the laser head to notify the system to stop pumping once the laser head begins to lase. This instrument can be controlled over USB-C, Ethernet or RS485 using SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). This allows for easy integration with existing systems.
