C190

Laser Drivers Overview

The RedWave Labs C190 is a laser controller providing full control for semiconductor lasers, including integrated temperature regulation. It supports laser diode control with a current range of 0–500 mA and voltage of 0.8–3.0 V. The unit operates on dual power supplies: +5V at 1.5A and an additional supply. Physical dimensions are 120 x 92 x 30 mm with a weight of 350 grams. Storage temperature ranges from -55 to 100°C.

Laser Drivers Feature Summary

• Integrates laser diode control and temperature management in a single package
• Supports TEC control via internal PI loop or external signals
• Includes mounting socket for 14-pin butterfly lasers

Laser Drivers Applications

• Spectroscopic instruments
• Optical detection systems
• Semiconductor laser driver platforms

Laser Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific firmware version and hardware revision against your system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the included mounting socket matches the pin definition of your target 14-pin butterfly laser. Ensure power supply specifications align with the dual input requirements (+5V/1.5A). Check for any accessory inclusions as units may be sold without additional cables or brackets.

Laser Drivers Selection Notes

Select the C190 when both laser current modulation and precise temperature stabilization are required for 14-pin butterfly packaged semiconductors. It is suitable for applications needing integrated TEC control with linear temperature regulation. Consider this model if external signal control for the thermoelectric cooler is preferred over internal PID loops. Verify compatibility with the specific laser diode voltage and current limits.

Laser Drivers Part Context

RedWave Labs specializes in electronics and optics design, offering drivers and firmware for laser systems. The C190 belongs to a family of controllers that includes models like C130, C150, and C154. These devices are designed for universal platform use in spectroscopic and optical instrumentation, providing reliable control interfaces for various semiconductor laser types.

Laser Drivers Replacement Considerations

The C150 is a related model combining integrated temperature and laser drivers. Verify pin compatibility and current/voltage specifications before substitution. The C154 also supports 14-pin butterfly lasers. Ensure the replacement maintains the required TEC control method and physical form factor.
