The Newport 6000 is a Laser Diode Controller, optimized for laser diode control applications. Central to its design is an integrated 32 W temperature controller, complemented by a modular bay capable of accommodating a variety of laser diode driver modules. The unit's interface comprises a 4-line LCD supertwist display, affording users a clear and comprehensive view of the entire system's status and configuration. This display also imparts on-screen guidance and streamlined front panel controls, ensuring user-friendliness. Navigating the 6000 controller, users gain the ability to swiftly configure and execute diverse control and testing functions across a spectrum of applications. These settings can be effortlessly stored and retrieved, supporting a wide range of system configurations.
The 6000 controller features unparalleled precision and resolution stemming from advanced 16-bit technology. This empowers users with absolute dominion over laser diode control. Furthermore, the controller is fortified with an array of safety mechanisms, safeguarding laser diodes against potential harm. Noteworthy protective features encompass a gradual power-on sequence, autonomous power and current limits, intermittent contact shields, and specialized circuits for detecting and filtering transient events. The 6000 controller is equipped with both RS-232C and GPIB/IEEE-488.2 interfaces, endowing users with comprehensive remote control capabilities. Moreover, LabVIEW drivers are integrated to facilitate further instrumentation of the controller. The controller's built-in 32 W temperature controller offers three operational modes: constant TE current, consistent temperature, and stable resistance encompassing thermistor, RTD, LM335 voltage, or AD590/92 current.
The 6000 controller boasts a short-term precision surpassing 0.0005°C, with long-term stability exceeding 0.001°C. Its proficiency is ideally suited for the comprehensive characterization of telecom laser diodes due to its integrated TE cooler measurement and sensor output capabilities. The temperature controller can be linked to the LDD module, causing the LDD to disengage and display an error message if the laser diode's temperature surpasses a pre-defined operational range. Installation options for the 6000 controller include rack mounting using a compatible kit. Moreover, the unit incorporates front legs designed to enhance the visibility of the LCD display. Utilizing these legs involves their downward rotation until they securely lock into position, subsequently placing the controller on a stable foundation. Additionally, the controller is pre-configured to operate within a nominal line voltage range encompassing 100, 120, 220, or 240 VAC, assuring seamless compatibility across different power supply setups.
