Features

  • Precision pulsed current to 3A specifically for laser diodes
  • Clean current pulses with fast rise times (<50nS) and low overshoot (<5%)
  • Built-in laser diode protection
  • Adjustable pulse width, duty cycle, and frequency to 1MHz
  • User-selectable pulse polarity
  • Accepts external trigger to control pulses and provides a trigger to initiate corresponding measurements
  • GPIB/IEEE-488 interface

The new LDP-3840B Precision Pulsed current source is a microprocessor-based instrument specifically designed for pulse testing and characterizing laser diodes. The LDP-3840B provides up to 3A of peak pulse current with adjustable pulse widths from 100ns to 10ms.

Careful attention to design for clean pulses at laser diode load levels provides a low noise pulsed current with fast rise times while maintaining overshoot of less than 5%. Testing and characterization can be automated with the 3840B through the GPIB/IEEE interface. For basic system integration, a trigger can be used to control pulses and initiate corresponding measurements without a command program.

Like all ILX Lightwave laser diode control instruments, the LDP-3840B incorporates laser diode protection and safety features such as current limits, output shorting circuits, AC line filters, and double-shielded transformers to help suppress laser damaging transients.

For specifications on the LDP-3840B Precision-Pulsed Current Source, please refer to the LDP-3840B product brochure.
