The LDX-3600 Series High Power Laser Diode Drivers are a family of high performance current sources designed specifically for controlling and testing high power laser diodes. Five family members provide output current from 10A up to 120A with a compliance voltage of up to 10V in CW or QCW modes. High setpoint accuracy, low output noise, and 4-wire voltage measurement make these drivers ideal for precision, high power laser diode L-I-V testing. A unique power display mode allows laser diode power to be set based on programmable slope efficiency and threshold current parameters. External output power monitoring is supported through an independent photodiode measurement circuit.
Multiple laser diode protection features include adjustable voltage and current limits, output shorting relays, and low operating and power line transients. In addition, all LDX-3600 Series drivers accept a thermistor input for temperature monitoring with programmable temperature limits providing additional laser diode protection.
Designed for automated laser diode testing in CW or pulse mode, these drivers combine a GPIB/IEEE-488 interface with trigger inputs and outputs for fast, accurate laser diode characterization. For virtual instrument programming, LabView® instrument drivers are available free of charge and can be downloaded from the link on the right.
