A Dedicated System for Laser
Diode Testing
The LPA-9080 Series is the industry’s only
laser diode controller and power meter specifically
dedicated to parametric analysis applications.
Accurate, low noise drive current, laser diodeprotection, and fast L/I/V curve generation areavailable in one instrument, eliminating the needfor an expensive, multiple instrument configuration
with complex triggering and programming
details.
The laser diode controller in the LPA-9080
contains proven ILX laser diode protection features
including adjustable compliance voltage up to 10 V,
output shorting relay, and fast shut off circuitry.

Sophisticated Power andWavelength Measurement
Capabilities
The power meter in the LPA-9080 contains

with full 16-bit resolution. The LTS-9110 System
includes your choice of OMH-6700B Series
Power and Wavelength Measurement Heads,
providing accurate power measurements as well
as a power-averaged wavelength measurement.
Measurement heads are available to provide
accurate optical power measurement from
-90dBm to +40dBm, and a wavelength rangeof 350nm to 1700nm. Our patented integrating
sphere technology also eliminates polarization
dependencies in your measurement. A wide

visit our website at www.ilxlightwave.com.

Computer System is Part of the
Package
A Dell® Optiplex® computer system is provided
as part of the LTS-9110 Package to control all
aspects of your testing regimen. The system
consists of a 2.8GHz Intel® CeleronD® processor
with 256MB of RAM, and a 40GB hard drive with
Microsoft® Windows® XP Pro SP2 and SPA-9000
preinstalled in a small form factor desktop case.
A 17” CRT monitor, a standard 104 key USB
keyboard, and 2 button mouse are included aswell. Communication between the computer
and the LPA-9080 is accomplished through a
National Instruments® GPIB card, giving you apowerful platform from which you can base yourtesting requirements. The whole system has been
preconfigured and tested prior to shipment, so you
simply need to connect the cables, turn the systemon, and begin testing.

Control Algorithm:

1 All values relate to a one-hour warm-up period.
2 Software limits of range. Actual range possible depends on thephysical load, thermistor type, and TE module used.
3 Accuracy figures are quoted for a typical 10kΩ thermistor
and 100µA current setting. Accuracy figures are relative tothe calibration standard. Both resolution and accuracy are
dependent upon the user-defined configuration of the instrument.
4 Using 10kΩ thermistor, on 10µA setting.
5 Using 10kΩ thermistor, on 100µA setting.
6 Accuracy depends on the sensor model selected, the calibration
standard, and the user-defined configuration of the instrument.
7 Over any one-hour period, half-scale output, controlling an LDM4412 mount at 25°C, with 10kΩ thermistor, on 100µA setting.
8 Over any 24-hour period, half-scale output, controlling an LDM-4412
mount at 25°C, with 10kΩ thermistor, on 100µA setting.
9 Measured at 1A output over a bandwidth of 10Hz to 10MHz
10 When used with TSC-599 RTD Sensor Convertor.
11 Nominal temperature coefficients, It and Vt, apply over the rated IC
temperature sensor range.
12 Software limits of display range.
13 Using a 100 kΩ thermistor, controlling an LDM-4412 mount over
-30°C to 25°C.
14 Using a 10kΩ thermistor, controlling an LDM-4412 mount over
0°C–90°C.
15 Voltage measurement accuracy while driving calibration load.
Accuracy is dependent upon load used.

The LTS-9110 Laser Diode Test System combines the
LPA-9080, SPA-9000, a leading edge control computer,and your choice of laser diode fixture and optical power/
wavelength measurement head all into one complete
package. You choose the instrument: the LPA-9082 forapplications requiring up to 500mA laser drive current or the
LPA-9084 if you need up to 4A. Both versions contain a 32W
temperature controller for precise temperature control ofinternal Peltier coolers and a precision power meter with 16bit resolution. L/I, V/I, and other associated curves of up to
5000 data points can be generated and stored in seconds.
The LPA-9080 Series Parameter Analyzer, whencombined with the SPA-9000 Windows®-based parametricanalysis software, forms the ideal system for fast andaccurate parametric analysis of laser diodes. This system
has been optimized for precise high speed L/I/V curve
generation, making it the ideal parametric test solution
for incoming inspection, production line testing, and R&D
applications.
