DLC pro

Digital laser controller for narrow linewidth lasers

The performance of diode lasers is largely determined by its controller. The DLC pro was the first diode laser controller based on a digital foundation, which is essential to obtain the best performance on all key parameters: Low current noise for narrow laser linewidths, excellent temperature control for stable operation and precise piezo control for frequency tuning.

To unleash the full potential of this high-performance controller, intuitive user interfaces are available: With touch screen and knobs it is easy to adjust scans, zoom into observed features, activate frequency locks etc. The digital foundation also enables full remote control, including a GUI for Windows computer and a command interface. This interface is open to all programming languages; a Python SDK is provided.

Your Benefits

Stability through digital

A digital foundation is essential to obtain the best performances for all key parameters

Low noise digital drivers have intrinsically no drift compared to analog drivers. They insure stable temperatures and currents for the diodes, as well as a precise piezo control for frequency tuning.

Intuitive graphical user interface
Full control with a computer in a user-friendly and efficient way.
Easy laser control with the Phython Laser SDK
Our TOPTICA Python Laser SDK (Software Development Kit) makes straightforward the control of TOPTICA lasers from a computer using the Python programming language.
More space for lasers with the 4-laser operation
Simultaneously control up to 4 (M)DL pro or DFB pro with one DLC pro.
Same controller for all quantum TOPTICA lasers
Same interface, start quickly, stay efficient.
Intelligent locking features
The Lock Wizard guides you step-by-step towards a robust frequency lock.
Remote control
Simply connect to any laser in a lab and start to work with the right settings.
