TO-Mount

A Universal TO Laser Diode Mount for Maximum Flexibility

The TO-Mount uses a universal design that supports TO-38, TO-56 and TO-9 laser diodes on a single mounting surface. Laboratories and production lines can test different TO packages without swapping hardware, which reduces setup time and equipment costs across a wide range of laser diode applications.

Quick Mount/Release for High-Throughput Testing

In production testing and high-volume research, every second per device counts. The TO-Mount’s quick mount/release mechanism lets operators insert and remove laser diodes rapidly while keeping each device mechanically stable and thermally coupled during the measurement. The result is higher throughput, repeatable contact, and less handling time per device.

Two Power Versions: 50W Air Cooled or 100W Water Cooled

The TO-Mount is available in two power levels so you can match the mount to your devices and lab infrastructure.

TO-Mount 50W, air cooled (Art. No. 30.060.00240):  This robust version handles up to 5A and 11V and covers a temperature range of 0°C to +105°C. Because it needs no water supply, it suits lower-power testing and flexible lab setups.

TO-Mount 100W, water cooled (Art. No. 30.060.00271): This high-performance version handles up to 11A and 15V. Water cooling extends the temperature range down to -15°C, which makes it a good fit for cold testing and for high-power laser diodes that need more aggressive heat removal.

Recommended TEC Drivers for the TO-Mount

For precise thermal control, pair the TO-Mount with an Artifex Engineering USB-controlled TEC driver:

• 50W air cooled TO-Mount: TEC40 (20.208.00033) or TEC170 (20.208.00032)
• 100W water cooled TO-Mount: TEC170 (20.208.00032) or TEC480 (20.208.00019)

Seamless Integration with LIV100 and LIV120

Every TO-Mount is compatible with the Artifex Engineering LIV100 and LIV120 laser diode characterization systems and with our USB-controlled TEC drivers. That means you can integrate the TO-Mount into your existing lab infrastructure smoothly and start LIV measurements, temperature-dependent characterization and quality control testing right away.

Typical Applications

The TO-Mount is used wherever TO-packaged laser diodes need stable, precisely controlled test conditions, including LIV characterization (light-current-voltage), temperature-dependent performance testing, production testing and incoming inspection, and research and development of laser diodes.

More Temperature-Controlled Laser Mounts from Artifex Engineering

Artifex Engineering offers three types of temperature-controlled laser mounts, each precision-engineered for reliable, long-term performance. The TO-Mount is designed for TO-38, TO-56 and TO-9 packages. The Vacuum Platform Mount handles chips and bars up to 15mm with vacuum-secured mounting plates. The Plane Platform Mount is a general-purpose support plate for CS-Mount, F-Mount and custom laser packages.
