5 Amp Pulse Driver For Laser Diodes, ILX Model LDP-3832

ILX Model LDX-36125-24 Driver

The LDP-3832 pulsed driver for QC lasers is designed for driving cascade lasers and high voltage laser diodes. These pulsers offer peak current up to 5 amps and a high compliance voltage range up 20 volts. They offer the ability for the user to adjust the laser pulse width from 10 nsec to 1 µsec. These units also offer an integrated DC current source with a 500 milli-amp range for biasing the laser in a CW mode while the pulsed are applied on top of the DC current. The 3832 can be modulated with an external voltage input for tuning the wavelength. Protection features include current limits and protection against transients and power surges. These drivers are one of the few models commercially available which offer a GPIB interface as well as a USB I/O. For more information, please contact Newport directly.
