Product Type:Tunable Laser Controllers
Product Model:Velocity
Brands:Newport
Applications:
  • Modern, low-noise design
  • Easy-to-use controls and GPIB/RS-232 interfaces
  • Half the size and weight of previous controller
  • Backward compatible with Velocity lasers in the field

Our new low-noise Velocity tunable laser controllers are the state-of-the-art laser controllers for our most versatile laser series. And, with a modern, compact, and lightweight design, these controllers save space and your strength. Our straight-forward controls allow you to easily sweep, step, ?ne-tune and modulate either by the press of a button or via the GPIB or RS-232 interface and your PC.


Features:


Automated Wavelength Scans


Easily perform wavelength scans over part of or the entire tuning range of the laser. Just set the start and stop wavelengths and scanning speed and press the scan button.


High-Speed Current Modulation


Modulate the laser amplitude with a 3-dB bandwidth of 1 MHz through the controller’s current-modulation input.


Easy Wavelength Modulation


Convenient wavelength modulation for spectroscopy or stabilization experiments is provided by a PZT actuator on the tuning element. Driving the PZT through the input on the back panel of the controller allows you to directly modulate the laser wavelength with a 3-dB bandwidth of 2 kHz.


Complete Computer Control and LabVIEW™ Programs


Anything you can adjust from the front panel can be controlled through RS-232 or GPIB (IEEE-488) interfaces. In remote mode, you still have access to the frequency-modulation input, allowing you to dither the frequency as you perform automated wavelength scans.


Detector Input


The general-purpose detector input on the back panel allows you to implement digital control algorithms and is particularly useful for stable-power wavelength scans, background correction in applied spectroscopy experiments, and wavelength stabilization.
