This application note describes a simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed to allow the users to monitor thermoelectric current ITE and thermoelectric cooler (TEC1) temperature T over time t, or optical power P over T, with Newport controller and power meter products. The ITE/T vs. t measurement function can be useful during the initial setup of the TEC controller. The P vs. T function is important in finding out the thermal characteristics of the device under test. Together, they provide useful information about the thermal characteristics of the system, including the TEC, controller, mounts, heat sink, and the device itself. This application note assumes that the reader has a basic understanding in TEC control and photonic and optoelectronic devices.
