Product Overview:

High Current, Short Pulsed Laser Diode Driver

The Model PLDD-50-SP laser diode driver is a high power, high speed, solid-state current source driver that is ideal for compact industrial applications that require extremely short pulses. Analog Modules' proprietary technology delivers a small footprint, high stability, laser driver with 20 to 50 Amp output current, and up to 350 V compliance voltage.

The Model PLDD-50-SP laser diode driver is driven by two power supplies: 12 - 28 V at 10 mA for control functions, and 250 V - 350 V at 6 mA for the laser driver supply.

Output pulse widths of 5 ns (shorted output) are possible with pulse repetition rate from single shot to 15 kHz. The ultimate current is dependent on the pulse repetition frequency; see the attached datasheet for details.

The PLDD-200-12-20-2X2 is an ultra-compact and light weight version of our standard 200 amp pulsed current source designed to drive laser diode bars, arrays of laser diode bars, or any low impedance load. The unit features a high peak current of 200 amps with a rise-time of <10μs (load dependent) and a maximum pulse width of 300μs. The pulse repetition frequency can be varied from single shot to 20 PPS. The output current amplitude can be controlled by either an analog voltage or an on-board potentiometer. The pulse width is controlled by the duration of the input trigger signal. Using the optional Universal Interface Board (UIB-01), the user has easy access to all control pins. Commonly used signals on the UIB-01 are available through BNC connections such as the input trigger and the current monitor which allows the user a real time view of the current. The PLDD-200-12-20-2x2 requires a user supplied +15 to +28V input supply.
