The D2-105 is a precision diode laser current source based on the Libbrecht-Hall* circuit.  This ultra-low current noise is ideally suited for precision spectroscopy and metrology applications. Furthermore two-stages of temperature control provide sub-mK stability, ensuring long term frequency stability.  A front panel current servo BNC enables high-speed (> 10 MHz) servo control of the laser’s frequency.  Additionally, extremely high speed modulation is enabled by a front panel RF port, which is connected directly to the laser current output SMA. Powered with an external power supply (D2-005) or user provided power via a breakout board (D2-001).
