6300 SERIES FEATURES

The 6300 Series ComboSource Laser Diode Controller offers the best of both worlds: a high accuracy, low noise, dual-range laser driver combined with a powerful 60W precision temperature controller, coming together as our flagship product.

The ComboSource laser driver includes the standard safety suite: a safety interlock, ESD protection, and hardware limit circuits for current and voltage. Dual range allows this instrument to operate at half-scale for improved resolution. In addition, the ComboSource has unique features not found on competing products including optically isolated modulation and photodiode inputs, programmable PD bias, and a constant voltage control mode.

The ComboSource temperature controller supplies 60W of TEC control and supports all common sensor types (thermistor, RTD, AD590, and LM335), including a 4-wire RTD mode. With the same excellent stability and performance as our popular 5305 TECSource, the ComboSource supports a broad range of laser and temperature control applications.
