Keithley

Keithley is a world-leading manufacturer of precision electrical test and measurement equipment, specialising in solutions for semiconductor testing, materials research and electronic characterisation. Its portfolio includes source measurement units (SMUs), digital multimeters, electrometers, picoammeters, data acquisition systems and switching solutions. Trusted by engineers, scientists and researchers worldwide, Keithley instruments deliver exceptional accuracy for low-level measurements and advanced electrical testing applications.

  • 50W TEC Controller combined with DC measurement functions
  • Fully digital PID control
  • Autotuning capability for the thermal control loop (2510-AT)
  • Designed to control temperature during laser diode module testing
  • Wide temperature setpoint range (-50°C to +225°C) and high setpoint resolution (±0.001°C) and stability (±0.005°C)
  • Compatible with a variety of temperature sensor inputs — thermistors, RTDs, and IC sensors
  • Maintains constant temperature, current, voltage, and sensor resistance
  • AC Ohms measurement function verifies integrity of TEC
  • Measures and displays TEC parameters during the control cycle
  • 4-wire open/short lead detection for thermal feedback element
  • GPIB and RS-232 interfaces
  • Compact, half-rack design

The Models 2510 and 2510-AT TEC SourceMeter instruments enhance Keithley's CW (Continuous Wave) test solution for high speed LIV (light current-voltage) testing of laser diode modules. These 50W bipolar instruments were developed in close cooperation with leading manufacturers of laser diode modules for fiberoptic telecommunications networks. Designed to ensure tight temperature control for the device under test, the Model 2510 was the first in a line of highly specialized instruments created for telecommunications laser diode testing.

It brings together Keithley's expertise in high speed DC sourcing and measurement with the ability to control the operation of a laser diode module's Thermo-Electric Cooler or TEC (Peltier device) accurately. The Model 2510-AT expands the capability of the Model 2510 by offering autotuning capability. P, I, and D (proportional, integral, and derivative) values for closed loop temperature control are determined by the instrument using a modified Zeigler-Nichos algorithm. This eliminates the need for users to determine the optimal values for these coefficients experimentally. In all other respects, the Model 2510 and Model 2510-AT provide exactly the same set of features and capabilities.

Supplied with: User's Manual and Input/Output Connector.

Applications: Control and production testing of thermoelectric coolers (Peltier devices) in:
  • Laser diode modules
  • IR charge-coupled device (CCD) arrays and charge-injection devices (CID)
  • Cooled photodetectors
  • Thermal-optic switches
  • Temperature controlled fixtures
