8560 In Stock

The 8560 by Newport is a Laser Diode Driver Module, designed to provide exceptional performance in laser diode control. Boasting meticulous engineering and advanced circuitry, this module stands out as a pinnacle of stability, delivering an impressively low-noise current source. Its unique design incorporates a low bandwidth mode, setting new benchmarks for minimizing noise output within modular laser diode systems. Precision in laser output manipulation reaches unprecedented levels through the integration of an external analog modulation input, catering to a diverse range of applications. This module accommodates modulation in both constant power (APC) and constant current (ACC) modes, offering unparalleled versatility. To further enhance its adaptability, the presence of a monitor photodiode takes center stage. This photodiode is capable of being reverse biased up to 5 volts, enabling high-frequency modulation, or zero biased for applications demanding continuous wave (CW) operation with minimal noise disturbance. The 8560 empowers users with access to comprehensive laser diode parameters, each parameter meticulously resolved at a remarkable 16-bit resolution, including precise control over the forward voltage.
