Quantum Cascade Lasers are typically very expensive. We recommend that you use a test load for initial setup of the QCL-LAB and QCL-OEM families of low noise Quantum Cascade Laser drivers. The QCLTL-1500 can be used with the QCL1500 LAB, QCL1500 OEM, or QCL1500 OEM(+) drivers. A 10 Ω, 50 W resistor is mounted to a heatsink and coupled to a BNC connector. A BNC T-connector is also included. The test load can be connected to the QCL driver using the BNC to SMA cable 55-110014, sold separately. Free, effective, and responsive technical support is available to simplify integration of Wavelength products into your OEM design. Standard product can be easily modified to meet your application requirements.
