Active Cooling
The 224 TEC TO-Can LaserMount provides active TEC cooling for TO-5.6 or TO-9 lasers. The device is inserted into a socket and clamped to the cold plate by a machined stainless steel bracket.
The 224 is designed for post-mounting (post-mount not included), with 8-32 and M4 threaded holes on the bottom of the mount.
A cover plate is included to minimize the impact of air thermal gradients on the temperature of the device. A nitrogen purge nipple on the side of the mount can be used to prevent condensation when operating below the dew point. A 4mm banana jack on the side of the mount provide a convenient wrist strap connector, or can be used to ground the mount to an optical table.
No Wiring
The 224 requires no wiring to configure it for your device. Instead, there are two switches to configure for either common anode or common cathode, and a third switch to optionally earth ground the case of the laser.
DB-9 & DB-15 Interfaces
The laser driver and temperature controller connections are made through a DB-9 LDD and a DB-15 TEC connector on the back of the mount, which allows for quick connections to any Arroyo Instruments controllers.
Thermistor Control
The mount uses a 10K thermistor for temperature feedback. More details on working with thermistors can be found here.
