The modulation of the laser diode current (for changing wavelength) with the bias tee option is highly sensitive to the smallest change in the position of the SMA cable. How do you ensure repeatability of the connection? The bias tee sits on top of the laser diode pins and the contact between the two is influenced by the weight, tension of the SMA cable connecting to the other end of the bias tee and its position.
ksosnowski  (posted 2024-08-09 05:23:43.0)
Hello Shiva, thank you for reaching out to us. The ZIF socket and the two securing screws should provide enough positive contact force to keep these pins in reliable contact. Securing the LM14S2 to the table through the mount's counterbores as well as using a cable strap like our CS1 may help with further preventing any connection issues due to strain in the cables. If any components like the socket's screws are lost we can help you get replacements. I have reached out directly to discuss your application in further detail.

Dear Thorlabs, We are using LM14S2 and ITC4001. When operating the diode laser, the center frequency is too unstable. It's fluctuating around 100MHz. Is there a suspected cause for this? It seems we could deliver our situation in more detail through email.
ksosnowski  (posted 2024-06-25 05:35:48.0)
Thanks for reaching out to us. The stability of the laser wavelength can strongly depend on the drive current and temperature stability, as well as the presence of any backreflections. With our ITC4001 the drive current noise is quite low however achieving good temperature stability relies on finding the best PID coefficients for your exact system and operating points. Our ITC4001 manual covers how to tune the PID of the system and I recommend using the temperature driver's software to better observe any fluctuations in the temperature over time with a plot display while PID tuning. I have reached out directly to discuss your application in further detail.

Hello, We have encounter with few problems using the LM14S2 (used together with TED4005 and 3rd party Laser driver), which we hope you can help us with. 1. Using the custom Pin out configuration card, we saw that temp. tend to have higher temp. fluctuations up to +/- 0.005 degrees, while without USB it is with the spec of the TED4005 +/- 0.001 degrees. Are there any instruction for the wiring of this card (i.e. AWG, type of wiring etc.) 2.When using TYPE I setting there is a puzzling short between Pin 10 which supposed to be Anode and the case ground (pin 13) - even when using TL PN780PN laser? Is there other pin out or is ok? Appreciate prompt response Iko Ben Giat - Chief Product & Engineering iko@tera.group
jpolaris  (posted 2024-06-07 01:20:26.0)
Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. I have reached out to you directly to get clarification on your issue with temperature fluctuation. For wiring the configuration card, ideally, a solid 26 - 30 AWG insulated wire would be used for making the connections. Regarding part (2) of your message, yes, for Type 1 butterfly packages, the connections you've described are normal. I have sent you a pin diagram that should help clarify these connections.

Hello! We want to use LM14S2 mount with LDC8005 and TED8020, but we find that the pin configurations of LM14S2 and LDC8005 are different, the pin3 of LM14S2 is Laser Diode Anode and pin3 of LDC8005 is Laser Diode Ground, while the pin8 of LM14S2 is Not Used and the pin8 of LDC8005 is Laser Diode Anode. Do I need to swap the connection of pin3 and pin8 of the cable when using them together?
cdolbashian  (posted 2023-05-26 12:55:51.0)
Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. As the butterfly diodes are Anode grounded, the pin 3 and pin 8 have identical electrical paths. You shouldn't need to swap any connectors. I have contacted you directly to discuss this in more detail.

Hi, I see that the bias-t provided in the LM14S2 is spec'd to 500 MHz. Ideally I would like to drive an RF signal at several GHz, do you offer a bias-t that could handle this higher rate to fit this mount?
ksosnowski  (posted 2022-03-02 11:44:48.0)
Thanks for reaching out to Thorlabs. Unfortunately we currently do not offer any drivers or mounts that can achieve these higher speeds. In the past, we have recommended using drivers and mounts offered by AV Tech (which is not affiliated with Thorlabs in any way). An alternative option to modulate at higher frequencies is to use an external source such as a LiNbO3 EO modulator. I have reached out directly to discuss your application further.

Hello, I understand that the bias-T adapter supplied will only work with diodes that have the correct internal circuity, but my question is if it would be possible to use your laser diode bias-T PCB component to externally wire up a modulation input for other diode types?
asundararaj  (posted 2019-10-02 11:05:27.0)
Thank you for your Feedback. To use the Bias-T adapter with other configurations of diodes in a Butterfly package, you can manually configure the LM14S2-UA to suit the pin configurations of your diode.

Hi, We want to use bias-t to modulate the current of a type -1 diode (SFL 1550S). But the manual says that the bias tee is for type-2 diodes only. How can we modulate type -1 diodes at high frequencies. We also have CLD 1015, but it is also limited in modulation frequency range.
nbayconich  (posted 2017-06-09 09:33:29.0)
Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The bias-T adapter in the LM14S2 is only compatible with Type 2 Telecom Laser Diodes. Type 2 telecom butterfly diodes are designed specifically to be modulated by a bias-T RF circuit. The type 1 butterfly diode packages do not have the proper circuitry in order to be modulated in a bias-T circuit. Some alternative options to modulate your Type butterfly diodes at higher frequencies is to use an external modulating source such as a LiNbO3 EO modulator which can modulate up to 40 Gb/s . Several of our Laser Diode current drivers can directly modulate the type 1 butterfly diode mounts through the LM14S2. For example the ITC series controllers can directly modulate from DC to 150Khz. A Techsupport representative will contact you directly with more information.

Hi, I would like to use the LM14S2 with the TED200 TEC controller and an external electronic board that command the bias current. In order to disable the Status and the Interlock function, Should I switch the TEC Lock button to "Bypass" ? In the Operating Manual, it's said that a resistor should be used to limit the curent into the PIN1 to between 5. Thus, if I connect the "driver" side of the resistor to 5V, I should use a 500Ohm resistor and connect the PIN5 to the ground ? Thanks, Thomas
tcohen  (posted 2013-07-11 16:20:00.0)
Response from Tim at Thorlabs to Thomas: Thank you for contacting us. Yes, it should be switched to Bypass. You can use that resistance but you may use slightly higher as the current should be limited to a maximum of 10mA.

tcohen  (posted 2013-03-14 13:22:00.0)
Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Physically it appears as if your modulation connection opposite to the pins would interfere with our package designed for a 14pin butterfly. Even if this were to fit however, and a custom configuration card LM14S2-UA was to be used, the LM14S2 is suitable only for anode-grounded diodes.

Dear Sir/Madam: We are using LM14S2. Recently we found the current waveform of DFB LD was not stable. The current drive seems to be OK. Since it is new one and I tested with two simulated diode in series. There was no problem. But when I connected to the LD. The current waveform ( monitored from the current feedback)was not constant. Even worst, after a period of fluctuation, it kept decreasing and finally went down to zero. Sometime, if I switched off the driver and powered up again. The current recovered. The LD is the NEL with a little difference layout of pin to type two laser. I am using type 2 configuration card with pin12 connected as the instruction from the manual. What ,do you think, is the reason?
