ComboPak is the Arroyo Instruments' line of precision and low noise laser and LED diode controllers, integrating current driver and temperature control in one OEM box.
The ComboPak series brings together the best of both worlds: the high precision, stability and low noise of the LaserSource series of current drivers and a powerful 12W (3A, 4V) temperature controller from the TecPak series.
Includes USB and RS232 interfaces for computer control and a powerful analog interface for full control and monitoring without the need for a PC
The current controller part has the features that would be expected from any controller, such as safety interlock, ESD protection, and current and voltage limiting circuits. But in addition the LaserSource range has unique characteristics that are not found in competing driver products such as
- optically isolated photodiode and modulation inputs (avoid "ground loops")
- programmable PD bias
- constant voltage control mode
The temperature controller part offers 10.5W (3A, 3.5V) TEC control and supports thermistor sensor input.
It also has the AutoTune function for automatic PID calculation
Key features of the OEM laser diode controllers ARR-ComboPak:
- Laser: up to 3.5V and 1A
- Laser: great precision and stability and low noise
- TEC: 10.5W (3A, 3.5V)
- TEC: Autotune: automatic calculation of PID parameters
- TEC: fully controllable PID settings
- advanced diode protection
- USB2.0 and RS232; control software
- analog interface for full control and monitoring without a computer
- command support for Newport and ILX
