Overview
The SMC-Series modules are the ideal instruments for controlling the current and the temperature of diodes laser in AMO physics. With an ultra-low current noise density of 100 pA/√Hz (SMC10) and sub-mK thermal control stability (SMC20 & SMC31), the SMC-Series is the right choice for the most demanding applications.
Because SMC-Series was first designed for frequency stabilization and OPLL applications, the SMC10 current source provides both Servo and RF inputs for current modulation over large bandwidths. Its ultra-low noise current feature is a key parameter for achieving the best phase noise performance of your stabilized lasers. Using the SMC-Series laser diode controller with the SMA- or SMB-Series modules, complete turn-key solutions are available for your laser frequency stabilizations or phase-locked lasers.
