Laser Diode Mounts

ILX Lightwave produces laser diode mounts for all standard laser diode packages. In addition, custom mounts are available in order to fit non-standard or customer proprietary laser packages. Wiring setup is easily adjustable by the end user to fit any laser diode pin arrangement. A wide range of optional features, including case temperature control, water-cooling, and nitrogen purge, make ILX Lightwave mounting fixtures versatile and adaptable for any application. Please contact us for information on custom mounts and mount options. All ILX Lightwave laser mounts are compatible with standard ILX Lightwave cables and ILX Lightwave Laser Diode Control Instruments.

Interconnection Cables

ILX Lightwave produces a wide range of interconnection cables to connect ILX Lightwave instruments to laser diode mounts. In addition, unterminated cables can be used to connect to custom laser diode mounting fixtures or customer proprietary packages. Low power interconnection cables feature shielding to limit the effects of radiated noise coupling for sensitive applications. For high power applications standard cables exist for both CW operation and QCW operation of laser diodes. A list of cables and a link to a table showing which cables are appropriate for connecting various combinations of laser diode instrumentation devices and mounts can be found below.
