Multi-Channel Pulsed and CW Mode Laser Diode Controller Mainframe

Product Overview:

Customer Specified System Parameters

The LTR-1200 is a highly configurable laser diode controller / driver system which offers the user the choice of either pulsed or CW current source modules as well as temperature control modules. The LTR-1200 will integrate into a standard 19" rack or can be used as stand-alone table-top instrument.

Configurable High Power Laser Diode Controller Options

The combination of built-in devices is freely selectable by the customer, their application will dictate the choice (12V or 24V) and number of internal primary DC power supplies. LaserDiodeControl.com and Meerstetter Engineering will take care of the integration and provide a fully configured turnkey solution.

Laser Diode Control Options Include:

- Pulse/CW Laser Diode Drivers
- Laser Output Current 1.5 A - 30 A
- Smart and Responsive TEC Controllers
- TEC Output Power 10 W - 480 W

LTR-1200 Custom Configurable Rack-Mounted Laser Diode Control System

Modular power supply, intelligent air cooling and galvanically isolated communication options allow Meerstetter Engineering to compose and provide customer-specific turnkey solutions. Full configuration and control of all internal devices are available over 'MeCom' remote communication protocol and LDD/TEC Service Software. Basic parameter control and systems status information are available over the LTR-1200's front panel display and 5-way navigation switch, allowing for autonomous stand-alone operation.

Easy-to-Use Front-Panel Control & Powerful Remote Communications

The current status of the system and of the built-in devices are indicated on the front side display (2x40 characters) and by dual color LEDs. The most important settings (parameters of the built-in devices and of the front side data interfaces) can be adjusted over the 5-way navigation switch.

For advanced operation and configuration, all internal devices can be addressed over one of the electrically isolated interfaces; therefore the originally supplied TEC and/or LDD Service Software’s can be used. For continuous monitoring and control by customers' systems, the serial communication protocol 'MeCom' can be used: on one hand, it allows direct control of the each built-in LDD and TEC device, on the other hand it allows polling further information about the overall system status.

For fast signals (such as LDD pulse triggering) three digital (electrically isolated) input lines are available. Also, one digital output is available (e.g. for error indication). The integration of third party hardware (such as fiber-coupled diode lasers) is possible if dimensional requirements are met.
