Photonics West 2015<\/a><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]You are invited to visit our booth (#2406) at Photonics West Feb. 10-12 in San Francisco. The new Low Noise QCL Laboratory Instrument will be available for hands-on operation.\u00a0 We are also hosting a\u00a0demonstration\u00a0<\/span><\/a>of the new QCL Laboratory instrument Feb. 10 at 10:30 in Demo Area 1 in the South Hall. We will be showing a wide range of compact temperature control solutions: efficient PWM control in the WTCP model (up to 5\u00a0A), high stability in the WTC controller (up to 2\u00a0A), low cost in the WHY controller (up to 2\u00a0A).<\/p>\n

Our team of engineers would love the opportunity to talk with you about your application. Feel free to\u00a0make an appointment<\/span><\/a>\u00a0ahead of time if you’d like to look more in-depth at your project.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button dimension=”flat” corner_style=”rounded” size=”medium” letter_spacing=”1″ url=”http:\/\/www.spie.org\/x2584.xml” target=”_blank” bg_color=”#000000″]Learn More[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3455″ img_size=”500×500″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1507146836113{margin-top: 5px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”22″ force_font_size=”true” size_smallscreen=”20″ size_tablet=”18″ size_phone=”16″ txt_transform=”uppercase” margin_top=”10″ font_family=”none”]Subscribe to our newsletter for tips, techniques & product updates.[\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][mk_button dimension=”flat” corner_style=”rounded” size=”medium” url=”http:\/\/teamwavelength.us4.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=e683bb028455c6da2682e79a6&id=cb59ea9375″ target=”_blank” align=”center” margin_top=”15″]Subscribe [\/mk_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3456″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”now-available-intellitune-intelligent-autotune-integrated-with-the-tc-lab-series-instruments\/”][vc_column_text]\n

Case Study: Low Voltage Quantum Cascade Lasers<\/a><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Several newer Quantum Cascade Lasers are operating at lower voltages, some as low as 10 V.\u00a0 Our clients have successfully and safely operated these with both the\u00a0QCL OEM<\/span><\/a>\u00a0drivers and the\u00a0QCL LAB<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>drivers.<\/p>\n

With the QCL LAB driver, you simply reduce the Voltage Limit on the LIMIT screen (instructions are in the\u00a0User Guide, page 25<\/span><\/a>). With the QCL OEM, the safety circuits are hard-wired. Request the QCL OEM driver of the appropriate current level and Product Variation 48 (PV048) to operate the QCL OEM with an 11\u00a0V QCL limit. Other product variations are possible. Contact your Applications Engineer to discuss your application and how we could reduce your cost or assembly time.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button dimension=”flat” corner_style=”rounded” size=”medium” letter_spacing=”1″ url=”\/product\/qcl500-laboratory-series-500-ma-qcl-driver-instrument\/”]Learn More[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3457″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”\/product\/tc10-lab-series-10a-temperature-control-instrument\/”][vc_column_text]\n

Low Noise Drive for Laser Diodes<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The new QCL Laboratory instrument offers the lowest noise operation of any commercially available driver. This enables much lower detection thresholds in materials sensing systems.<\/p>\n

The QCL driver can also be used with Laser Diodes – if the anode of the Laser Diode is, or can be, grounded and it is operated in constant current mode.<\/p>\n

What would low noise Laser Diode operation enable for your application?<\/p>\n
