Operation manual for the Thorlabs LDC200C Series high-accuracy injection current controllers for laser diodes and LEDs.
The Thorlabs LDC200C Series Laser Diode Controllers are high-accuracy, precise injection current controllers designed for laser diodes and LEDs. The series includes various models such as the LDC200CV for VCSELs, the LDC201CU for ultra-low noise applications, and models with enhanced compliance voltage for blue laser diodes. These controllers feature a 5-digit LED display and are operated via front panel UP-DOWN keys.
| Current Range (LDC220C) | 0 to 2 A |
|---|---|
| Current Range (LDC240C) | 4A |
| Noise (LDC201CU) | <0.2µA RMS |
| Compliance Voltage | >10V |
| Ambient Temperature | 40 °C |
The soft start function protects the laser diode against undesired transients by smoothly increasing the injection current after switching the laser on.
If the connection to the laser is interrupted during operation, the output is switched off immediately and can be switched on manually only.
