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.

Designed for automated laser diode testing, these drivers combine precision control and measurement with IEEE488/GPIB and USB computer interfaces for high power laser diodes. For virtual instrument programming, LabView instrument drivers are available free of charge and can be downloaded from the ILX website.

For specifications on the LDX-32420 Laser Diode Drivers, please refer to the LDX-32420 product brochure.
