Pilot PZ, 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.
