08 Jul 2009 ILX Lightwave Corporation announces the release of the LDM-4405 TO-Can Laser Diode Mount with case temperature control.The LDM-4405 accommodates 5.6mm and 9.0mm TO-Can laser diodes with 3 or 4 pins. An integrated TEC module and calibrated 10kΩ thermistor in the LDM-4405 provide temperature control over a range of 10°C to 85°C. Standard ANSI and metric post mounting holes provide convenient mounting to standard optical table mounts. Fixture design and a unique clamping method result in unobstructed access to the laser diode window for aligning collimating optics. The nickel plated cold plate provides repeatable low thermal resistance between the TO-Can laser diode and LDM-4405. The LDM-4405 also includes a nitrogen purge capability to allow for operating at low temperatures in a humid environment.
The LDM-4405 is designed for general laboratory use at universities and companies working with TO-can laser diodes. |
