Laser Diode Controller, Modular, 16-Channel, GPIB, Universal

The LDC-3916 Modular Mainframe features sixteen channels with thirty two isolated outputs for controlling multiple laser diodes. Modules include current sources with maximum outputs from 500 mA to 3 A, TE (thermoelectric) controller modules with up to 24 W of power and voltage measurement, and controller modules with laser control from 500 mA to 1.5 A and integrated 9 W TE control.
An independent power supply powers each channel, providing protection and stability for your laser diode. Every module incorporates low noise, high stability performance, and the ILX Lightwave® unmatched laser diode protection topologies including independent current limits and laser diode shorting relays.
