120 Amp Laser Diode Bar and Array Driver; High Power CW & QCW Current Source 120 Amp Current Source Optimized for Laser Diode Bars and Arrays User Configurable Soft-Start Current Ramp and Enhanced High Power Bar Protection Features CW and QCW QCW Pulse Width Range 25 μs to CW Integrated QCW Pulse Generator and Remote Trigger Input RS232, USB, LabView Drivers LDC-154 DATA SHEET WORLD LEADING PRODUCTS FOR LASER SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS
DATA SHEET LDC-154 Product Overview: These affordable laser diode drivers offer a maximum output of 120 Amps, 4 Volts and can operate in high power constant current or QCW mode. They are designed to power laser bars and arrays requiring high current ranges with low voltage. They offer an integrated function generator for generating QCW pulses from 25 microseconds to CW. They also run full CW power up to 120 Amps. They are designed specifically to safely bias fiber coupled bar modules and CCP style copper mount bars from companies such as DILAS and Coherent. These units come with a front panel that is easy to operate as well as both RS232 and USB digital interface. They include LabView drivers. Protection Features Specifically for High Voltage Multi-Emitter Laser Diodes and Series Connected Devices: These current sources feature multiple levels of built-in laser diode protection which have been optimized for bars and arrays. One of the unique features is a user programmable soft-start ramp of the bias current to the device under test. The factory sets the ramp time to 300 milliseconds as a default, but the user can adjust this time period from 1 millisecond up to 10 s of seconds. This current ramp up and down function is designed to protect the laser from thermal shock during power up and down sequences. In addition to this soft-start ramp, these drivers offer features such as current limit, a brown-out and black-out power surge clamp, AC line filters and a fast response to shunt the current in the event of an open circuit. The LDC-154 utilizes high current M4 style connectors on the rear panel and there are multiple cabling options available to ensure reliable connection to your device under test.
