The DTC 110 is a low-noise temperature control module that regulates the laser diode temperature with a precision of approx. 1 mK. It can be used to sweep the emission wavelength of DFB diodes. Its bipolar control allows fast and stable regulation. Special versions are available for DFB diodes and for regulating the temperature of nonlinear crystals.
