This unit
The ILX Lightwave CSM-39010 is a precision 100 mA current source module engineered for laser diode characterization and control in research, development, and production test environments. This modular unit installs into compatible ILX Lightwave mainframes - such as the LDC-3900 Modular Laser Diode Controller - and delivers stable, low-noise current output to sensitive optical and electronic components.
Technical Specifications
Output Current: Up to 100 mA
Compliance Voltage: 7 V maximum (fixed)
Short-Term Stability (1 hour): < 10 ppm
Long-Term Stability (24 hours): < 50 ppm
Temperature Coefficient: < 50 ppm/°C
Key Features
Fixed 7 V compliance voltage ensures predictable headroom for laser diode bias networks
Sub-50 ppm stability over 24 hours minimizes drift during extended measurement campaigns
Service-free modular design integrates directly into LDC-3900 bays without external cabling complexity
Photodiode feedback inputs via 9-pin D-connector (pins 6 and 7) or dedicated BNC connector support closed-loop control architectures
Adjustable photodiode reverse bias (0–5 V) enables flexible detector biasing strategies
Typical Applications
Laser diode dynamic and static characterization
Optical power monitoring and stabilization
Production burn-in and reliability testing of optoelectronic devices
Bench-level component evaluation requiring precision current control
Compatibility & Integration The CSM-39010 occupies one of four available bays in the LDC-3900 controller and is field-interchangeable with other compatible current source and temperature control modules. Laser diode connections are made via the rear-panel 9-pin D-connector. Note: This product is obsolete and no longer manufactured or supported by ILX Lightwave. Replacement units, service, repair, and calibration are unavailable from the original manufacturer.
