Description
High-power current and temperature control for demanding laser applications
The LDD series from Santec provides robust current and temperature control for high-power laser diodes and amplifier systems. Designed for flexibility and reliability, it supports a wide range of diode types and operating conditions.
With high current capability and a configurable PID temperature controller, the LDD is well suited to tapered amplifiers and high-power laser systems.
Flexible temperature control
PID-controlled TEC driver supports a wide range of thermal loads (up to 60W).
User-friendly control interface
Front-panel operation combined with remote control via USB or Ethernet.
Designed for amplifier systems
Optimised for use with our MOA/MSA amplifiers and high-power diodes.
Dedicated variant for injection locking
ILD version enables autonomous operation of injection-locked amplifiers.
Applications
- Tapered amplifier systems
- High-power diode lasers
- Fibre amplifiers
- Injection-locked laser systems
- Industrial and research photonics
System Integration
LDD controllers are designed to drive high-power laser systems, particularly our amplifier platforms. They provide reliable operation in both standalone and integrated system configurations.
