Page 17: Laser Diode Mounting
O P E R A T I O N C H A P T E R Laser Diode Mounting Laser Diode Mounting Laser diodes are extremely susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge and surge currents. To avoid early failure or damage to the device, workers and work benches must be grounded at all times when handling or working with laser diodes. - Page 18 O P E R A T I O N C H A P T E R Laser Diode Mounting Figure 2.2 Laser Diode Insertion The one-piece cover/clamp accommodates both 5.6 mm and 9 mm TO-can devices. The clamp uses an O-ring to apply preload onto the device for good thermal connection to the laser mounting plate.

Page 20: Current Sources And Current Measurements
O P E R A T I O N C H A P T E R Current Sources and Current Measurements Current Sources and Current Measurements Operate the LDM-4405 Laser Diode Mount using an appropriate ILX Lightwave current source and temperature controller. Operation with other current sources or temperature controllers is also possible, provided that the correct wiring is observed (refer to Figures 2.4 and 2.5). - Page 21 O P E R A T I O N C H A P T E R Current Sources and Current Measurements Figure 2.5 LDM-4405 TE Module Cable Pinouts Do not exceed the specified maximum drive current of the laser. If you are using an ILX Lightwave current source, or any other current source which has an adjustable limit setting, be sure to set the current limit to a safe level for your laser.
- Page 22 O P E R A T I O N C H A P T E R Temperature Control and Condensation Temperature Control and Condensation Thermoelectric Temperature Control The LDM-4405 contains a single solid-state thermoelectric (TE) module. The TE module is located between the laser plate and the housing heat sink. This Peltier heat pump is capable of heating and cooling the laser diode when supplied with current from an appropriate temperature controller.
- Page 23 C H A P T E R AFETY Laser diodes used with the LDM-4405 Laser Diode Mount may emit infrared radiation which is invisible to the human eye. Extreme care must be taken to prevent the beam from being viewed either directly or through external optics or mirrors. Remove rings, jewelry, and other reflective materials when working with lasers.
