Introducing Newport's new turn-key solution for controlling high power laser diodes and laser diode bars. These laser diode control kits do not require any water cooling and include a High Power Laser Diode Driver (a 5600-65, 560B, 5700-80-7 or 5700-30-5), a high power temperature controller (either 3150 or 350B), a 763H Series high power laser diode mount, and the required interconnect cables. Just add the high power bar diode of your choice, and you will have all the precision control over temperature and current that you require. The kits come in many types. The FSBAR-KIT is for freespace diode bars like Newport's ProLite DCS Series open heatsink diode bars. The FCBAR-KIT is ideal for fiber coupled diode bars like Newport's Prolite BW or CW Series. The only difference between the two kits is the version of the 763H series mount that is included. For the free space version, the diode's optical output is aligned with the edge of the mount, while it is set back from the edge for fiber coupled versions. Both versions can provide up to 65A of diode driver current, and sink up to 75W of waste diode heat.
A special version of the kit called the FCSE-KIT is also offered for use with Newport's SF Series fiber coupled single emitters. With this kit, a model 560B laser diode driver, and 350B temperature controller is included, as well as special interface cables for the 763H-FC mount. This kit will provide up to 6A of diode current, and plenty of thermal capacity for a single high power diode.
