Product Description
The Model 8008 Modular Controller expands on the modular laser diode controller concept to meet the higher channel densities found in Dense WDM (DWDM) applications and 2-D VCSEL arrays. The eight bays accept either 8600C Combo Laser Diode Driver (LDD)/ Temperature Controller (TEC) modules or 8500D Dual Output LDD modules.
8600C Series Combo LDD/TEC modules are designed for use in communication applications and have an internal function generator for testing systems. The user only needs to program the frequency, Imax, and Imin to modulate the laser diode output. Both sinewave or squarewave (50% duty cycle) waveforms are available from 200 Hz–300 kHz. This range of frequencies meets today’s low frequency single-tone and high data rate test requirements for datacom and telecom.
For 2-D VCSEL arrays or high-density laser diode applications, where temperature control is not required for each individual laser diode, the 8500D modules allow the control of up to 16 lasers from a single Model 8008 mainframe.
The mainframe automatically detects which module is installed in each bay and displays the system configuration on a large LCD screen. A sophisticated processor provides enhanced system control and data collection capabilities.
GPIB/IEEE-488 and RS-232 interfaces are included with the Model 8008 ...

Ordering Instructions
There are two simple ways to order Newport’s Model 8008 Modular Controller.

I. When ordering your customized system configuration, specify the following model number:



Indicate the Option Code number for the specific module you would like us to install in any of the eight available bays. Please indicate NN, if you do not require a module in a particular bay.

8008-OPT-06-06-06-06-06-06-06-06

Model 8008 Modular Controller with Model 8601.8C, 100 mA, Combo LDD/TEC Module in each of the eight bays

II. Any one of Newport’s Model 8008 Modules can be ordered separately in the event that you would like to upgrade your Modular Controller in the future. Please only use the model number, as shown in the table above, for ordering stand-alone modules.
