The LQC Series includes a self-contained laser diode with superior optical quality, a very high precision current source and a PID temperature controller built in the module. These laser modules are ideal for demanding experimental setups where the temperature and current control are important.

The laser diodes are available at various wavelengths and output power levels. Newport strives to offer high performance laser diodes with a variety of different output wavelengths and a high output power and beam quality to provide the maximum flexibility in your research.

For applications that only need laser diode modules with simple, more economical fixed output power supplies, the LPM series is suitable. The LPM modules include the diode and collimating optics in a single case.

All LPM and LQC diode lasers are available either in elliptical (E versions) or circular (C versions) output beam shape. Circular beams are generated using a micro lens built in the diode laser and exhibit better quality than elliptical versions. The wavelengths indicated are typical values only, due to the nature of FP lasers.

Newport's LPMS Series Power Supplies (sold separately) are more than just power supplies. This is a key instrument that will make the LPM and LQC laser diode modules CDRH-compliant. It provides an interlock input, key enable switch, delayed start-up, and laser active indicator. The laser modules in the wavelength range of 375-473 nm require an 8/12 VDC power source. Those in the range of 635-2330 nm require a 5 VDC power source. (Note: Warranty is not applicable when a custom power supply is used to drive the laser diode module.)
