MLD 1000: Modular
Laser Driver for External Cavity Diode Laser
Systems
Description:
The MLD 1000 is a
modular laser driver for external cavity diode lasers. It includes 200mA laser
current source, 2A temperature stabilization, 120V piezo amplifier as well as
various plug-in modules for different measuring applications. Currently
available are current modulation module, ramp generator module, active
stabilzation module and computer control module 
Layout:
The main frame of
MLD 1000 contains power supply and a display module. There are 4 slots available
for plug-in modules. All plug-in modules are internally connected via backplane.
In the standard configuration, two slots are pre-occupied for laser controller
and piezo amplifier modules. There are two slots available for measuring
applications
Power Supply:
The main frame of the
MLD-1000 contains a toroidal transformer. This concept enables us to protect the
function boards from most types of noise sources. Acceptable surge voltages are
230V/50Hz and 115V/60Hz. The power consumption is 60W.
Display Module:
The display module
PI-1000-DP monitors all relevant parameters which are needed for controlling
diode laser systems.
Laser Driver Module:
The
laser driver module PI-1000-LD contains a 200mA laser current source as well as
a 2A temperature controller.
Piezo Amplifier Module:
The piezo
amplifier module PI-1000-PZ is a 10x amplifier which provides -20V .. 120V for
the piezo actuator within the external cavity diode laser .
Ramp Generator Module:
The
ramp generator module PI-1000-RG provides an internal modulation of the piezo
amplifier module for pure frequency modulation of the external cavity diode
laser.
Computer Control Module:
The
computer control module PI-1000-RGC is a computer controllable ramp generator.
It provides an internal modulation of the piezo amplifier module for pure
frequency modulation of the external cavity diode laser via the RS-232 port of
any computer.
