The Models 2510 and 2510-AT TEC SourceMeter SMU instruments enhance Keithley’s CW (Continuous Wave) test solution for high speed LIV (light-current-voltage) testing of laser diode modules. These 50W bipolar instruments were developed in close cooperation with leading manufacturers of laser diode modules for fiberoptic telecommunications networks. Designed to ensure tight temperature control for the device under test, the Model 2510 was the first in a line of highly specialised instruments created for telecommunications laser diode testing.

It brings together Keithley’s expertise in high speed DC sourcing and measurement with the ability to control the operation of a laser diode module’s Thermo-Electric Cooler or TEC (sometimes called a Peltier device) accurately.

Applications

• Laser diode modules
• IR charge-coupled device (CCD) arrays and charge-injection devices (CID)
• Cooled photodetectors
• Thermal-optic switches
• Temperature controlled fixtures
