Thorlabs is pleased to offer the CLD1015 Laser Diode Driver and Temperature Controller, which comprises a complete driver
package for fiber-coupled lasers, superluminescent diodes
supplies up to 1.5 A of drive current, making it compatible with Thorlabs' entire family of pigtailed diode lasers; maintains
the diode temperature with 0.01 C precision, providing a high degree of output stability and prolonging the life of the
diode; and contains a built-in mount for portability and mechanical stability. No additional equipment is needed to operate a
laser diode. It also includes a full complement of safety features, such as a soft start mode, current and temperature limits,
and external interlock compatibility, in addition to advanced features, including a switchable noise reduction filter and a
modulation input, usually only found on more
