model 8008 Newport DC/AC Current Source
The Model 8008 is a modular main-frame controller designed to manage multiple laser diode driver (LDD) and/or TEC (thermo-electric cooler) modules. It is aimed specifically at high-density applications (e.g., DWDM lasers, VCSEL arrays) where many channels need coordinated control. The mainframe supports up to 8 bays (slots for modules) in the 8008 version. In contrast, earlier versions (e.g., "8000") had fewer bays. Interfaces: It supports GPIB/IEEE-488 and RS-232C for remote control/data acquisition.

Key Specifications & Features

Here are some of the more relevant specs & usage features:

Module support & functionality

  • The 8008 supports modules like the 8500D dual-output LDD modules and 8600C (or variant) combo LDD/TEC modulesFor combo LDD/TEC modules (on 8008): e.g., 2 A TEC at 4 V, and a laser diode driver (LDD) from ~200 mA to 2 A in one module.

Channel count / bays

  • Up to 8 bays in the mainframe; depending on module type you can control up to 16 lasers in some configurations (when dual-output modules are used).

User interface and remote control

  • Large LCD graphical display for system configuration / status. 

  • Soft keys, menu driven interface; also remote control via GPIB/RS-232.

Safety & module features

  • Laser diode protection features: interlocks, current/voltage limits, etc.

  • Fully isolated bays to avoid cross-channel interference.
