LASER Diode Positioners

   The LDP Laser diode positioner uses the XY & tip/tilt mechanics from our popular BFT-5 fiber positioner to create a compact 4-axis laser diode mount.  The X and Y axis have 0.12-inches (3mm) of travel and are adjusted via 80TPI fine pitch screws.  Tip/tilt motion uses 80TPI screws and have a total of 8-degrees of motion.

   Both the LDP-1 and LDP-1B have 8-32 (M4) tapped holes on two edges for convenient mounting to PR series post.  The LDP-1 has 4-40 clearance holes accessed from the front so that it can be bulkhead mounted off its back side leaving the tip/tilt adjustment screws accessible from the front.  The LDP-1B has the same 4-40 clearance holes, but has the tilt/tilt adjustments on the back side, allowing for through the bulkhead adjustments.  The inner diameter of these laser diode positioners is 16mm and we have a 11mm adapter (LDP-11a) to accommodate the most common diode can sizes (other sizes available upon request).  The LDP-1 and LDP-1B both have built-in safety shutters.
