The LM14S2 is designed to operate with all lasers and two-port electro-optic devices in a 14-pin "butterfly" package. The top surface includes heat sink fins and a recessed region to mount the laser diode, resulting in a very low profile package. The LM14S2 also includes a laser diode “TEC Lockout” feature* that disables the laser when the TEC Controller is not active. It is designed to allow up to 5A laser current and 5A TEC current. Note: TEC control requires the laser package have an integrated TE cooler and thermal sensor.

This mount also provides Zero Insertion Force Sockets (ZIF), a remote interlock connection, and an LED to indicate that the laser diode is enabled.

The LM14S2 does not have a fixed configuration and incorporates user definable configurations via modules that plug into a connector located in the bottom of the mount. Delivered with the LM14S2 are two modules: One is pre-configured for both Type 1 and Type 2 lasers, see the Specs Tab for definitions of these types, and one is a user configurable module designed to allow custom wiring of the mount.

In addition to the configurable pin-out feature, a Bias-T Adapter is included as an accessory, allowing for RF modulation of butterfly lasers specifically designed with this capability.

The LM14S2 is pin for pin compatible with all Thorlabs' Benchtop Laser Diode Controllers and TEC Controllers, and most of our Platform Laser and TEC Controllers as well, eliminating the need for custom made interface cables.

*TEC Lockout only functions with ThorLabs, Inc. Laser and TEC Controllers and can be easily bypassed if not required.
