Intelligent External Cavity Laser Diode Controller

Description:
The Pilot PZ is a benchtop, highly precise, low noise,
microprocessor operated, controller for external cavity laser diodes. The
laser current or the optical output power , the temperature of the
connected laser diode as well as the voltage for the piezo actuator can be
precisely regulated. An integrated low noise ramp generator enables automatic
wavelength scans via piezo actuator. GPIB / IEEE 488.2, RS232 and USB
computer interface allows remote programming and readout from most laptop
computers 
Intelligent Laser
Controller: The intelligent, low noise PilotPZ laser controller
changes the laser system from just an external cavity laser system to an
automated measuring tool for scientific and OEM customers.
Security Features:
The Pilot PC incorporates proven laser protection
features, including exclusive clamping current limits, output shorting circuits
and slow-start turn-on. In addition, power-line transients are
suppressed by AC line filters
Low Noise Power Supply:
The power supply of the laser controller is designed with a
special shielded toroidal power transformer. No switch mode power stages in the
controller are one of the key points to provide a minimum noise level of
the laser current. The linear Pilot PC power stage is a development basing
on our previous design which is proven since more then 10 years in Sacher
Lasertechnik products.
