These 100 mm x 160 mm board-level controllers combine a low-noise, low-drift current source with a precise TEC controller. Designed for easy integration into OEM applications, these euro-sized boards are ideal for products or systems where excellent laser emission stability is required. The analog interfaces offer easy access to parameter settings and readout.

These laser diode controllers support constant current (CC) and constant power (CP) modes, as well as all laser and monitor diode polarities (CG/AG). The connected laser interfaces with the controller through a 15-pin D-Sub connector. A fixed-ground-level design significantly improves noise, transient suppression, and output stability. The laser operating current can be modulated by an external control signal.

The built-in temperature controller includes a full PID feedback loop with independent P, I, and D settings, which can be individually optimized. A wide variety of temperature sensors (such as thermistors and the AD590 Temperature Transducer) are supported. A standard 64-pin PCB connector provides access to output signals, analog control inputs, power supply connections, temperature sensors and thermoelectric cooler elements.

Accessories
We offer a display board (ITC100D) and front panel (ITC100F) for viewing and setting the system control parameters. In addition, we manufacture a 9-pin and 15-pin Y-cable (CAB430) for connecting the controller to our family of laser diode mounts with built-in TECs.

This is specifically for the ITC102. The manual diagrams only show the unit working with an AD590 and a thermistor together. If I only have an AD590 is the thermistor required?
wskopalik  (posted 2021-07-23 03:28:26.0)
Thank you very much for your inquiry! The ITC102 as well as the other ITC100 boards only need one temperature sensor for correct operation. So either a thermistor or an IC temperature sensor (AD590, AD592, LM335) is sufficient. You do not need both. There is a switch (S3) on the board to select which type of sensor is connected. I will contact you directly to provide further assistance.

Can the ITC133 be used with any L.D. pin code, in particular pin code G? On pages 15 to 17 of the current version of the manual (3.2, jun 2020), I see no mention and no configuration example of using a LD without photodiode. If this is possible, is there any particular hardware setting to apply?
MKiess  (posted 2020-07-14 09:15:32.0)
This is a response from Michael at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. On page 15 to page 17 in the current manual, only the general, possible configurations of the combinations of laser and monitor diode are shown. It is also possible to connect a laser diode with respect to ground, individually. You can also use the CAB430 to connect the ITC133 controller with a Thorlabs' laser mount suitable for G-style laser diodes, which can be found under the following link: https://www.thorlabs.de/navigation.cfm?guide_ID=35 I have contacted you directly to discuss the connection in your specific case.

Hi, I'm requesting inquiry in terms of operating ITC110. Currently, we are using a gain chip that has only Thermistor and not transducer. Is there a way for us to interpret thermistor resistance value in terms of temperature Celsius?
wskopalik  (posted 2020-05-29 06:32:27.0)
This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry! The display ITC100D as well as the analog output on the ITC110 will unfortunately only return the resistance value when a thermistor is used as a temperature sensor. It cannot be converted into a temperature value automatically. Thermistors have a specified relation between their resistance and the temperature which is usually given in their data sheets. So you could manually convert the resistance value to a temperature value by using this relation. I will contact you directly to provide further assistance.

Hi, our lab have purchased the ITC110 product with ITC100D. However, we are having trouble to turn on the LED display panel from the ITC100D. We have connected two 15V power supplies in series in order to supply the voltage range between -15V to +15V. Also, we have designed the circuit by following the schematic diagram given in the manual. We have, connected this circuit with ITC110 and connected -15V, GND, and +15V to the pins described in the manual. By considering that circuit that we made is correct, could you recommend any method to further check if there is any issues why the LED panel on ITC100D doesn't turn on. Sincerely, Youngjin Ahn

swick  (posted 2019-01-29 05:41:56.0)
This is a response from Sebastian at Thorlabs. Thank you for the inquiry. It is possible to control Laserdiodes in constant-power (CP) mode and modulate it at the same time but modulation bandwidth will be lower compared to constant-current (CC) mode. It depends on the pulsed-type laser diode and corresponding driving parameters if CP-mode could be used. I contacted you directly to provide assistance.

To whom it may concern, Hello, I'm Hansol Jang and I have some question about ITC110. Recently we've bought some of ITC110 but does not use yet because of supply voltage problem. The supply voltage and current shown in spec sheet are +-12 to 15 V and 3.1A respectively. Following are my question. 1. Should we supply +15V and -15V at a same time? 2. Required current of each voltage channel (+15 and -15V) is 3.1A right? 3. We are going to supply voktage to ITC110 with SMPS but it is very hard to find products which satisfy both two channel output (+15 and -15V) and current of 3.1A or more. Most of multi channel SMPS have different current level according to output channel (ex) +15V, 2A and -15V, 0.5A). Could you recommend supplying method or instruments (such as SMPS, AC-DC converter..) for ITC110 please? 4. Finally we need to use two ITC110 at a same time so much higher current level is required I think. Sincerely, Hansol Jang
wskopalik  (posted 2018-12-05 09:02:40.0)
This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry! Please find the answers to your questions below: 1. Yes, you need to connect +15V, GND and -15V at the same time to the pins described in the manual (A30 - A32, C30 - C32). 2. Yes, the current would need to be 3.1 A for each voltage channel. 3. You can e.g. use a lab power supply to supply the ITC. These are available for different voltage and current ranges. So you would need to make sure that the particular power supply can provide the needed current and voltage level. 4. Each ITC110 needs to be supplied with the required current at the required voltage. So depending on how you connect the ITCs and the power supplies, the total current would double.

Hİ, I have mistyped twice in my previous post. Please discard it and consider this one here: We bought the following parts for laser diode control: Part numbers are: ITC102 ITC100D ITC100F CAB430 LDM9LP and we have combined ITC102,ITC10D,ITC100F and tried to run. Although I do supply the required voltage, Led2 (indicator of Vcc) does not light but the 7-segment display works, but it does not show reasonable values and the values do not change even though I change the potentiometer. Where am I doing wrong?

shallwig  (posted 2015-09-10 04:23:13.0)
This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. There are several ways to get the actual temperature with the ITC102 displayed. In the manual on page 6 http://www.thorlabs.de/thorcat/7100/ITC102-Manual.pdf you can find the TEC specifications and temperature sensors control range. With the ITC100D display panel connected you can display the “Set” and “Actual” temperature on the display. Please check that the Jumpers are set as described in the manual from page 45-46: For the ITC102 both jumpers ILD and ILim have to be at position 1. With the knob you can display from counter- clockwise to clockwise following parameters: Photo diode current IPD Laser diode current ILD Laser diode limit current ILIM Set temperature1) (or resistance2)) value TSET Actual temperature1) (or resistance2)) value TACT TEC limit current ITLIM For higher display accuracy you should re-calibrate the ITC100D from time to time. For adjusting Tact bring your temperature sensor to a well-defined temperature and adjust the ITC100D reading to that temperature using potentiometer P5. P5 is the second potentiometer from the right below the turning knob, please see also the picture in the manual on page 45. Alternatively you can also read out the temperature from the 64 pin connector directly at Pin C10 (see manual page 19 for the pin diagram). The actual temperature (TACT ) can be calculated with the conversion factor 50mV/°C from the voltage drop (-1 ... +4 V ) along a load resistance, we recommend to use at least 500kOhm load. I will contact you directly to check if you have any further questions.
yangkwanmo0109  (posted 2014-02-24 16:16:30.4)
I'm trying to figure out how to play with the TEC mode of ITC100. When I change the Tset to a certain value (I changed it to 40C when Tact was at 26.1C), the Tact seems to change super slowly. Is this normal? Reading through the manual (the polarity part in the TEC section), it seems like the Tact reaching the Tset seems pretty fast, so that we can check the polarity of the system. Also, it seems like Tact is increasing when LD is on, and is decreasing when LD is off. I am having trouble with the temperature control. Any help?

A response from Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback! Based on the description of the problem, it seems that the settings of the temperature feedback loop might be the issue. the user can set the PID as well as the maximal TEC current so as to adapt the TEC driver to the system considered.

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: While the ITC133 can be used to drive the L915P1WJ, you will still need other devices such as a TEC mount, adequate heat sink (and maybe a fan to cool the fins of your heat sink as well). You would also need a power supply that can provide the adequate current (please see page 11 of the manual for the specifications).

Front and Display for OEM Laser Diode & Temperature Controllers

The ITC100D is a separate display board that can be connected to the ITC100 Series controllers to set the system control parameters. To make the controllers more user friendly, we offer the ITC100F, which is a front panel for the ITC100 Series controllers that covers the control and display boards .

Please note that before installation of the ITC100F can begin, the large analog output control knob must be removed from the ITC100D. To remove the knob, pry off the top surface of the knob with the black indicator line. This will uncover a screw that fixes the knob to the panel. Once the ITC100F is installed, the analog control knob can be placed back into the system allowing for normal operation to continue.
