High power laser diode driver
10, 20 A | LDX-32420
ILX Lightwave
The LDX-32420 High Power Precision Laser Diode Driver is a high performance current source designed specifically for controlling and testing high power laser diodes. It offers maximum current ranges of 10 amps and 20 amps CW with a compliance voltage of 4 volts. These instruments offer high setpoint accuracy and output current stability, low output noise, and forward voltage and photodiode current measurements making these instruments ideal for precision, high power laser diode testing.
Multiple laser diode protection features include adjustable voltage and hardware current limits, output shorting relays, slow turn on/off circuits, fast error detection circuits, and transient protection during power up and laser operation. In addition, the LDX-32420 accepts a TTL input that can be configured to disable the output to the laser diode in an over temperature condition.
The LDX-32420 is loaded with standard features such as dual current ranges, constant current and constant power operating modes, fine/coarse setpoint control, laser current, laser voltage and photodiode current display modes, forward voltage measurement, and an external voltage input for CW or analog modulation control of the output.
Features
* Dual range 10A/20A output
* Precision current control with 1 mA setpoint resolution
* Constant current and constant power operating modes
* Precision laser forward voltage measurement
* Proven high power laser protection features including independent current limits, adjustable compliance voltage and intermittent contact protection
* Laser current modulation capability
* GPIB/IEEE-488 and USB 2.0 interface
