The LDC-3700B Series Laser Diode Controllers are an industry-leading family of high performance, microprocessor- based instruments that offer a high stability, low noise current source with an integrated 32W temperature controller specifically designed for controlling the current and temperature of laser diodes. These controllers are known throughout the industry for their reliability, precision, and ease-of-use.

Three models cover a wide range of low to medium power laser diode testing and control applications. The LDC-3714B and 3724B are targeted specifically for precision control of low to medium power laser diodes with dual range current sources of 50/100mA and 200/500mA respectively. For higher power laser diodes, the LDC-3744B provides a dual range current source of 2/4A. All three models come with an integrated 32W temperature controller.

Independent power supplies for laser and TE current provide clean, isolated power for laser protection and stability. All of ILX Lightwave’s proven laser diode protection strategies including slow start, adjustable current limit and compliance voltage, intermittent contact protection, and output shorting relays are incorporated into each model.
