The LPA-9080 Series Parameter Analyzer, whencombined with the SPA-9000 Windows-based parametricanalysis software, forms the ideal system for fast, accurate
parametric analysis of laser diodes. This system has been
optimized for fast, precise L/I/V curve generation, making
it the ideal parametric test solution for incoming inspection,
production line testing, and R&D applications.
The LPA-9082 supports drive current ranges of 200
mA and 500 mA, while the LPA-9084 provides rangesof 2 A and 4 A, allowing you to select the analyzer thatbest matches your laser diode testing requirements. Bothversions contain a 32-watt temperature controller for precise
temperature control of internal peltier coolers. The LPA9080 also contains a precision power meter with 16-bit
resolution, that connects with our entire line of OMH-6700
Power/Wavelength measurement heads. L/I, V/I, andother associated curves of up to 5000 data points can begenerated and stored in seconds.

Specifications
A Dedicated System for ParametricAnalysis
The LPA-9080 Series is the industry’s only
laser diode controller and power meter specifically
dedicated to parametric analysis applications.
Now accurate, low-noise drive current, laser
diode protection, and fast L/I/V curve generation
is available in one instrument, eliminating the needfor multiple instrument connections and complex
triggering and programming details.

Sophisticated Power and Wavelength
Measurement Capabilities
The power meter in the LPA-9080 contains
ILX’s precision power measurement capabilities
with full 16-bit resolution. Twelve photocurrent
input ranges from 50 nA to 10 mA support a wide
range of detector head inputs. The LPA-9080
seamlessly integrates our full line of OMH-6700
Series Power & Wavelength Measurement
Heads, providing accurate power measurements
as well as a power-averaged center wavelength
measurement. This line of sensor heads can cover
optical power measurements from as low as -90
dBm to +30 dBm. Our proprietary integrating
sphere technology also eliminates polarization
dependencies in your measurement. A wide rangeof fiber-optic connectors are also available.

Two Software Choices Available
ILX Lightwave offers two software choices for
the LPA-9080:
T h e S PA - 9 0 0 0 Pa r a m e t r i c A n a l y s i sApplication Software for Windows® 98/95/NT®
■ LabVIEW Driver
The SPA-9000 software contains a full-featured
Test Edit Wizard for creating flexible, powerful laser
diode test configurations. The software’s flexibility
allows for user customization of screen-based andprinted test output. The built-in Microsoft Access®
database provides easy data analysis, report
generation, or export of data to other enterpriseapplications.
■

The SPA-9000 software also has a Manual Control
mode, for operating the LPA-9080 as a laser diodecontroller with internal power meter. For more
information on the SPA-9000 software, visit our
website at www.ilxlightwave.com.
The LabVIEW® driver gives you a quick startin creating custom applications to your exact
specifications. These drivers give you access tothe full complement of GPIB-based commands
for the LPA-9080, while allowing you to integrate
additional test instrumentation to your functional
test station. LabVIEW® drivers are downloadablefrom ILX’s Web site at no additional cost.

A Complete Testing Solution
The laser diode controller in the LPA-9080
contains all of ILX’s proven laser diode protection
features, including adjustable compliance voltage
with up to 10 V of headroom, and fast shut-off
circuitry. The 32 W output temperature controller
can handle the demands of most internal peltiercooling elements found in today’s laser diodepackages. To complete your test setup, a completeline of ILX Lightwave laser diode mounts areavailable for most common package types. Thesemounts provide convenient, cabled connections to
the LPA-9080, and handle variations in laser diodepin-outs through user-configurable connections.
All of this, together with our line of OMH-6700B
Measurement heads, combines readily into acomplete laser diode test system.

Results You Can Count On
Whether your application is fast, accurate
production line testing, reliable incoming laser
diode inspection, or highly exacting researchand development applications, ILX delivers apowerful testing solution aimed at increasing yourproductivity and profitability.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL NOTES
1 All values relate to a one-hour warm-up period.
2 Software limits of range. Actual range possible depends on the physical load,
thermistor type, and TE module used.
3 Accuracy figures are quoted for a typical 10 kΩ thermistor and 100 µA current
setting. Accuracy figures are relative to the calibration standard. Both resolution andaccuracy are dependent upon the user-defined configuration of the instrument.
4 Using 10 kΩ thermistor, on 10 µA setting.
5 Using 10 kΩ thermistor, on 100 µA setting.
6 Accuracy depends on the sensor model selected, the calibration standard, and theuser-defined configuration of the instrument.

The LPA-9080 Series Parameter Analyzer, whencombined with the SPA-9000 Windows-based parametricanalysis software, forms the ideal system for fast, accurate
parametric analysis of laser diodes. This system has been
optimized for fast, precise L/I/V curve generation, making
it the ideal parametric test solution for incoming inspection,
production line testing, and R&D applications.
The LPA-9082 supports drive current ranges of 200
mA and 500 mA, while the LPA-9084 provides rangesof 2 A and 4 A, allowing you to select the analyzer thatbest matches your laser diode testing requirements. Bothversions contain a 32-watt temperature controller for precise
temperature control of internal peltier coolers. The LPA9080 also contains a precision power meter with 16-bit
resolution, that connects with our entire line of OMH-6700
Power/Wavelength measurement heads. L/I, V/I, andother associated curves of up to 5000 data points can begenerated and stored in seconds.
