9008 In Stock

The 9008 by Newport is a High-Density Laser Diode Modular Controller, designed for laser diode characterization, testing, and precise control. This controller is optimized for efficient and accurate laser diode management, featuring 8 module slots, an inter-module programming control via the link feature, and compatibility with GPIB/IEEE 488.2 and RS-232C interfaces. The 9008 is ideally complemented by the 40-watt temperature controller module, a versatile companion catering to the user's TE cooling requirements. This module offers modes such as constant TE current, constant resistance, and constant temperature modes, ensuring optimal thermal management. Demonstrating exceptional stability, the long-term temperature stability surpasses 0.01°C, while short-term stability achieves 0.004°C.

The 9008 accommodates a range of module types including 100Ω Platinum RTD, LM335 series, AD590, and thermistor modules, enabling adaptable configurations tailored to specific applications. This controller features advanced circuit designs and meticulous module layout, guaranteeing exceptionally low noise and remarkably stable output currents. Users can readily adjust current outputs within the 25 milliamps to 10 Amps range, providing the versatility required for diverse operational scenarios. A notable innovation within the 9008 is the integrated LDD/TEC module combination, providing users with comprehensive control over laser diodes requiring temperature stabilization. The TEC section meticulously stabilizes diode temperature, while the LDD section serves as an internal function generator, facilitating modulation. The controller's adaptability to evolving instrumentation demands ensures it remains a flexible solution for emerging laser diode applications.

Safety and protection are paramount in the 9008's design, boasting tried-and-true laser diode protection features. The input power module filters offer a robust initial defense against transients. Enhanced protection against transients is achieved through supplementary filtering and power regulation stages, complemented by high-speed transient detection circuits. The controller further includes an independent current limiting function, gradual turn-on sequencing, and multiple output shorting circuits, culminating in a secure operating environment for laser diodes. Augmenting usability, the 9008 is furnished with an LCD graphics display, empowering users with improved system control and streamlined data presentation. The "MASTER" display grants comprehensive access to the system configuration and module status, while the intuitive "Soft Keys" facilitate navigation through initial setup routines and module operations.
