This unit
The ILX Lightwave LDX-3207B is a precision laser diode current source and temperature controller engineered to deliver stable, low-noise current for laser diode operation across telecommunications, research, and development environments. This LDX-3220 Series instrument combines user-adjustable current delivery with selectable output modes and integrated laser diode protection to ensure reliable, repeatable performance.
Technical Specifications
Output Current Range: 0–200 mA (user adjustable)
Current Limit Range: 0–200 mA (user adjustable)
Output Modes: Constant power, constant current, high bandwidth current
Noise/Ripple: 2 µA rms
Current Output 24h Stability: <20 ppm FS
Temperature Coefficient: <50 ppm FS/°C
Modulation Input: BNC connector, up to 100 kHz
Modulation Input Gain: 100 mA/Volt
Key Features
Three selectable output modes adapt to diverse laser diode control requirements.
Modulation capability via BNC input supports signal injection at gains of 100 mA/Volt, enabling AM and signal-driven applications.
Integrated laser diode protection includes clamping current limits under modulated conditions, over-current suppression, and slow-start transient elimination.
Low output noise at 2 µA rms ensures clean current delivery to sensitive optoelectronic components.
Exceptional 24-hour current stability (<20 ppm FS) and temperature stability (<50 ppm FS/°C) maintain laser performance across operating windows.
Optional GPIB/IEEE-488 interface enables remote programming of output current, on/off switching, audible tone control, and high-resolution current and voltage measurement.
Typical Applications
Laser diode biasing and modulation in fiber-optic communication systems
Precision current sourcing for optical research and development
Temperature-stabilized laser operation in laboratory and field instruments
Compatibility & Integration The LDX-3207B integrates within the LDX-3200 Series family, which includes complementary current source models: LDX-3210 (50/100 mA), LDX-3220 (200/500 mA), and LDX-3232 (2 A/4 A). GPIB/IEEE-488 control allows integration into automated test environments and measurement systems requiring programmatic access to all driver functions.
