The LDX-36000 Series High Power Laser Diode Drivers are a family of high performance current sources designed specifically for controlling and testing high power laser diodes. Over twelve family members provide maximum current ranges from 10 amps to 220 amps QCW and 125A CW with a compliance voltage from 24V to 70V. 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 and control. External output power monitoring is supported through an independent photodiode measurement circuit with adjustable reverse-bias for best linear response and measurement speed.

Multiple laser diode protection features include adjustable voltage and current limits, output shorting relays, slow turn on/off circuits, and transient protection during power up and laser operation. A thermistor based temperature monitor provides additional protection through a programmable temperature limit which can be used to disable the laser output when the limit is exceeded.

Designed for automated laser diode testing in CW or pulse mode, these drivers combine precision control and measurement and an IEEE488/GPIB interface with on-board data storage for high power laser diode characterization. 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-36000 Series High Power Laser Diode Drivers, please refer to the LDX-36000 Series product brochure.
