Description
The picoWave®
Controller is designed to be used in conjunction with
the thermo electric cooler (TEC) equipped Micron Optics
picoWave® and Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometer
(FFP-I), where temperature stability is critical for
wavelength reference stability.
The picoWave®
Controller utilizes a linear proportional integration
(PI) control feedback loop to maintain the temperature on
the TEC (via thermistor feedback) to within 0.01°C of
the set value.
Front panel controls are:
Manual or preset (factory-set) temperature control switch
Actual thermistor temperature
or desired (set) temperature display readout switch.
As there is a slight time delay between the actual and set
temperatures, this feature is desirable in dynamic
tuning applications.
When a TEC equipped Fiber Fabry-Perot
Interferometer or picoWave®
component is purchased with the picoWave®
Controller, Micron Optics will install the
component inside the controller with FC/APC standard bulkhead
fiber optic connectors at the customer's request.
