Crystal Oven Controller
Here is the schematic diagram of the temperature control circuit.
Crystal oven controller. The operating range is from room temperature up to 200 c which enables a wide wavelength tuning range. 4 5 days heatpoint oven for nonlinear crystals. Crystal oven is a device isolated box with the purpose of controlling the temperature of crystals for a stable phase matching protection from humidity or precise working temperatures. Miniature crystal oven temperature controller module for two way radio applications.

An oscillator of this type is known as an oven controlled crystal oscillator ocxo where xo is an old abbreviation for crystal oscillator. Crystals crystal oven red optronics supplies a special designed crystal oven and temperature controller for heating and stabilizing crystals at a predefined temperature. Latching relay driver 12 to 28v relay sequencer high current dc switch l s band lna microwave l o.
Some optical crystals e g. Although this circuit is small and simple the design use a pwm output to preserve the efficiency. Such an elevated temperature is often required for noncritical phase matching ncpm or to avoid optical damage of crystals. This oven temperature controller is suitable for such purpose.
When the oven controller is turned on or when the desired crystal temperature is changed it will take some time until the oven has precisely reached the new temperature.

The temperature of a quartz crystal for oscillator should to be kept constant to operate at very stable frequency. A crystal oven is a temperature controlled chamber used to maintain the quartz crystal in electronic crystal oscillators at a constant temperature in order to prevent changes in the frequency due to variations in ambient temperature.
Crystal oven controller this oven and precision temperature controller is used to hold a crystal and maintain it at an elevated temperature. Ordering instructions on bottom of page. Alexandrite perform much better at an elevated and stable temperature. Crystal oven controller microwave l o.
Thermocontroller tc2 can be managed from pc through usb or lan interface. From 165 estimated delivery time. The involved time delays are often substantially longer than desirable in particular when the oven temperature has to be scanned through some range.
