The MLDC-1016 Multi-Channel Laser Diode Controller is a precision current and temperature controller for laser diode or LED modules. The MLDC-1016 can stabilize up to 16 laser diodes individually with two control modes for each channel. In the LDC (Laser Diode Current) control mode, the MLDC-1016 precisely controls laser diode current and temperature simultaneously at setpoints (or set values). In the APC (Automatic Power Control) control mode, the MLDC-1016 automatically controls the optical output power and the temperature at the setpoints simultaneously for each channel individually. The built-in micro-processor processes key-access, function control, data transfer, real time status monitoring/display and remote IEEE-488/RS-232 interfacing.
