C450 Laser Controller

Full digital Control; Laser current 0 – 500 mA; Compliance voltage > 4.0 V

The C450 combines an integrated temperature driver and laser driver in one package with full digital control. The laser driver has modulation bandwidth of 250 kHz; with separate fast TTL compatible switching. The laser current has variable hardware limit which can be set remotely. All control loops can be configured via USB or Ethernet and all setting are stored on the C450. Analog modulation input can mixed with internal current set point with different mixing ratios. An additional laser plugin PCB allows easy customization for various laser diodes.

Features: Laser diode control with full digital control of laser current and temperature
Applications: Spectroscopy, Laser, Precision Instrument, OEM applications
