Analog and Digital Modulation of LQx and DLx Series Laser Diode Modules

From Newport Corporation
 

 

The LQx series Fabry-Perot laser diode modules offers the most precise temperature control available from Newport Corporation. The DLx Series Distributed Feedback (DFB) Laser Source modules offer exceptionally stable wavelength and narrow spectral width. The LQC and the DLC series represent laser modules with a CW output.

The LQA and DLA series represents laser modules with 20MHz analog beam modulation. The LQD and DLD series represents a laser module with 100MHz TTL digital modulation. Analog modulation requires an input voltage with 0 to 1 VDC modulation on the SMC Connector. A control voltage of 1V will yield a 100% power output. A control voltage of 0VDC will yield a 0% output. The digital, or the transistor-transistor logic (TTL), modulation requires an input voltage of 0 to 5 V. A control voltage of 5V will yield a 0% power output. A control voltage of 0V will yield a 100% output. The laser is either ON or OFF depending on the control voltage.

Diode lasers use light-emitting diodes to produce stimulated emissions in the form of coherent light output. They are also known as laser diodes. Search by Specification | Learn more about Diode Lasers
Laser mounts are devices that keep a laser in position on a optical table. Learn more about Laser Mounts
Helium neon (HeNe) lasers have an emission that is determined by neon atoms by virtue of a resonant transfer of excitation of helium. They operate continuously in the red, infrared and far-infrared regions and emit highly monochromatic radiation. Search by Specification | Learn more about Helium Neon Lasers
Lasers are devices that produce intense beams of monochromatic, coherent radiation. The word "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Search by Specification | Learn more about Lasers
Nitrogen lasers are an excellent source of high intensity, short pulse, ultraviolet radiation. They can be used as an excitation source, or as a pump for a dye laser. Learn more about Nitrogen Lasers
