Request InfoO/E Land Inc.For driving 980- and 1480-nm pump lasers, as well as high-power LEDs and superluminescent diode modules (SLDs), O/E Land Inc. has introduced a laser diode controller that measures 113 × 48 × 29 mm. A single 5-V power supply provides 500-mA drive current (1000 upon request) and 0.005 °C temperature stability. Operating temperature is from 0 to ~70 °C. An onboard DIP-14 connector facilitates mounting of an SLD module. Drive current limitation is available to protect the instrument. Typical output current accuracy is 0.02%, and typical stability is 0.5 mA at 250 mA.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 3/29/2024Pump Laser ModulesThe uncooled pump laser modules from Coherent are made with Coherent’s G10 series laser diode technology and are meant to be used in submarine and both single- and dual-chip terrestrial...Photonics.com 3/31/2023High-power LEDsJ Series® 5050C E-Class LEDs from Cree LED Inc. feature long lifetimes for directional lighting applications.
