Thorlabs' Smart Pack Initiative is aimed at minimizing waste while providing adequate protection for our products. By eliminating any unnecessary packaging, implementing design changes, and utilizing eco-friendly materials, this initiative seeks to reduce the environmental impact of our product packaging.

The updated IP250-BV and IP500 packaging primarily consists of recycled paper and cardboard and weighs 22.78% and 21.58% less than the original packaging, respectively. This weight change results in 1.50 kg and 2.14 kg respective reductions in travel-based CO2 emissions per year, based on typical product sales.

As we move through our product line, we will indicate re-engineered, eco-friendly packaging with our Smart Pack logo, which can be seen above.

Hi. I want to use IP500 : 500mA Universal Laser Diode Driver. But, i have one question. I want to use my laser diode in my Lab. But my laser diode does not have monitor Photodiode. Thus, My Question is : Can i use IP500 Automatic Constant Current Mode(ACC) without monitor Photodiode? Is it okay that Jumper J2-3/2-4 opened? When I look Manual, on the chapter : Alarms and TroubleShooting, it is written that I LIMIT indicator will turn ON when the laser injection current exceeds 95% of the ILIM setting... (Case) The Photodiode is not connected(in PMODE Operation : I think it may be Automatic Constant Power mode right?). I think there is no problem when i use ACC Mode. In conclusion, I wonder if it is possible to use the IP500 when J2-3/J2-4 left unconnected(OPEN).

Thanks for reaching out to Thorlabs. Unfortunately, IP500 cannot be used fully with Laser Diodes without a monitor PD. This driver can only be ON in one current, i.e. at its max current limit point, when used with a laser diode without the monitor photodiode. This means you can't regulate the laser current/power except by the limit potentiometer in this scenario. For this reason, we would generally consider IP500 not useful for lasers without a monitor PD, unless the setup can accept using the potentiometer to manually adjust the current each time.

Hi! Is there a way of electronically switching between positive and negative current output? Thank you! Jiri
cdolbashian  (posted 2022-03-08 10:48:46.0)
Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry Jiri. Unfortunately, there isn't an inbuilt function which would allow you to remotely change the polarity of your current. The spec sheet does list both a positive and negative current available on output. This simply indicates the support of anode and cathode grounded diode packages.

Dear Thorlabs team, we want to remotely operate the IP500 from a microcontroller and ideally need a pin which turns on the driver if e. g. shorted to GND and turns it off otherwise. We need an input that does not just behave like the switch on the device, but like a true enable input. The J4-1 Remote Enable input is not very helpful for this, since one has no chance to know if the device is currently on, off or in alarm state, unless one reads out the LED, too. Is any pin on J5 reserved for a true remote enable function or is there any other modification we can do to make the enable input behave like a true enable input and not use use the switch-logic? Thanks in advance Jens
YLohia  (posted 2021-04-14 04:25:21.0)
Hello Jens, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Unfortunately, we are not able to recommend modifications to the part. That being said, Section 2.2.4 of the manual explains the different ways the IP500 can be used to make remote connections. The enable lines J4-1 and J4-2 mirror the onboard enable button. The keylock is included because of laser class 3B and higher requirements. To operate this a keylock must be installed for safety reasons. Basically, a key needs to be installed and on in order for the laser to turn on. The benchtop units implement this with the power switch. Either is okay as long as the key can be removed enforcing the unit cannot be enabled by anyone walking by.

Can I use DC pulse(square wave) for DC input? Thanks.

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: You can use a switched-mode power supply but they are in general noisier than a linear power supply. The noise specification cannot be guaranteed in that case.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to jahr: Thank you very much for submitting your inquiry. We would recommend using the IP250-BV for driving the LP405-SF10, since the maximum compliance voltage of this driver is 8 VDC, and the operating voltage of the laser diode (5 VDC)exceeds that of the IP500 (3 VDC). The driver includes the necessary wire harnesses and sockets in order to connect to the laser diode, so they do not need to be ordered separately. Furthermore, it is recommended to use temperature control in order to preserve the lifetime of the laser pigtail, so a driver like the ITC4001 along with the LM9LP temperature controlled mount would be recommendable. I will contact you directly in case you have additional questions.
jahr  (posted 2011-01-28 16:52:26.0)
it looks as though either the IP250-BV or the IP500 is compatible with driving the LP405-SF10 LD. Is that correct? Do either of them come with a B connector? Do you sell those separately. Thanks.
