For those in need of analog modulation and an exceptionally stable wavelength and output power, the IQ1A is an ideal choice. This Instrument Quality unit not only incorporates a PID temperature controller and precision current source, but it features analog beam modulation from CW to 70MHz. The IQ1A allows for DVM-compatible monitoring of temperature and drive current parameters. The module is available with an elliptical beam or with a round beam achieved via microlensed diode.
IQxA Update
Due to a recent finding of some power instability in our IQxA line of products, it is necessary to change Power Technology's standards. Starting October 4, 2005, the laser diode current monitor will be slightly different. These standards in no way effects the IQxH or IQxC modules. The new current monitor will be as follows:
Laser Diode Current
Laser Diode Iop Coversion Factor
0-400mA
401-1200mA
10mV/mA
1mV/mA
For users interested in a module with both analog modulation and beam correction via anamorphic prisms, our IQ2A is available.
* Optimum IQ performance is achieved from most laser diodes when operated from 5VDC. Please note, however, that our 375nm, 405nm, 440nm, and 473nm lasers require a minimum of 6VDC.
** Not all currents can be achieved at all frequencies. When higher current is achieved, frequency will be lower. When lower current is achieved, frequency will be higher.
***Maximum modulation frequency and rise/fall times may vary depending on the laser diode chosen.
