Overview

Ice Bloc DDTC is an integrated precision diode driver and temperature controller for building laser-based photonic systems in research, experimental and production applications. Driving the latest generation of high power laser diodes, the DDTC combines high current, low noise output with high accuracy, high resolution current set points.

The temperature controller can control either a TEC or resistive heater with user-programmable output current, current polarity, voltage limits, PID feedback parameters and ramp time. Its compact form factor with customisable software interface allows easy integration of the DDTC with experiments or OEM setups.
