High Power Pulsed Laser Driver

Up to 1 33j per pulse 70 efficiency compact 4 6 x 2 75 x 1 4 description.

High power pulsed laser driver. Ami s high speed high peak power model 766 is ideal for driving 14 pin butterfly packaged laser diode modules for use in pulsed fiber mopa systems for materials. Ami s high current high power driver model 7701a is an oem design for high power dpss laser and illumination applications. Ldx 36018 35 laser diode driver high power cw qcw 18a 35v gpib. They are compatible with our high speed nanosecond pulsed drivers or cw drivers with air cooling for the high power multimode laser diode versions.

Ilx lightwave instruments 2019 product selection guide. Model 774a analog modules inc. A high power laser diode driver is 5 amps and up to 100 s of amps in a cw mode. As we will discuss below because impedance matching is such a difficult challenge in fast pulsing applications the interface from the pulser to the laser is a major selection variable.

Our new laser drivers d 1900 and d 3300 are available. Fast rise time to high currents in a load such as a laser diode array is achieved by connecting an inductor between a power supply and an end of the diode array. A switching element is connected between the other end of the diode array and ground. It is designed to provide extremely fast high current pulses for driving laser diodes in range finder lidar atmospheric communications and other applications requiring high current nanosecond pulses.

The model 774a is a highly efficient low voltage dc input power converter laser diode driver designed to supply. Pco 7125 5a 30ns pulsed laser diode driver module. When the shunt switch is opened energy stored in the inductor is suddenly delivered to the. Their are kw level drivers available in pulsed and qcw mode versions.

And some have high power bracket connector outputs for high power fiber coupled laser modules 10 s or 100 s of watts. The pco 7125 is a compact and economical oem pulsed current laser diode driver module. Pulsed laser diode drivers allow for the modulation of a laser diode using by varying the laser drive current. This high power laser diode driver is able to drive in cw or pulse regime multimode fiber laser diodes.

A shunt switch is connected across the diode array. High power pulsed laser diode driver output up to 200a 40v pulsed 45µs risetime 50 to 400µs pulses 27w max. Turn key laser diode module with dfb or bragg sources at any wavelengths this laser diode module generates any pulsed or cw optical signal from an integrated semiconductor dfb or bragg sources at various visible or infrared wavelengths. These fiber coupled 980 nm laser diodes are offered as stock items or associated with a cw or pulsed laser diode driver.

These are by no means standards just a generalization based on the author s experience in the laser diode controller world.
