Laser diodes, the devices that illuminate telecom fiber-optic cables, require light-current-voltage (L-I-V) measurements during production. These measurements let you characterize a laser diode's ...

The Model 2520 Pulsed Laser Diode Test System performs electrical characterization of laser diodes in either the chip/bar state or in finished products. According to its manufacturer, the 2520 is the ...

The Keithley System 25, a fully customizable test system for the light-current-voltage (LIV) characterization of laser diodes and assembled laser-diode modules (LDMs), lets users choose only the ...

Are you tired of heavy LCR meters or handheld tools that aren’t accurate? A device can give you near-bench precision for ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

If you’ve played around with laser diodes that you’ve scavenged from old equipment, you know that it can be a hit-or-miss proposition. (And if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?) Besides the real ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

Renowned for its expertise in providing suitable laser diodes for space applications (e.g. in missions such as GAIA, CATS, ...

With the ongoing increase in module operating current, a reliable junction box is critical for modules which are to last for 25 to 30 years. This article will analyse which factors need to be ...
