Description

The performance of diode lasers is largely determined by their controller. The DLC pro was the first diode laser controller based on a digital foundation, which is essential to obtain the best performance on all key parameters: Low current noise for narrow laser linewidths, excellent temperature control for stable operation, and precise piezo control for frequency tuning.

To unleash the full potential of this high-performance controller, intuitive user interfaces are available: With a touchscreen and knobs, it is easy to adjust scans, zoom into observed features, activate frequency locks, etc. The digital foundation also enables full remote control, including a GUI for Windows computer and a command interface. This interface is open to all programming languages; a Python SDK is provided.
