Quantum cascade laser diode driver LDP-3830 series

precision

The LDP-3830 Pulsed Precision Current Source is specifically designed for controlling laser diodes and quantum cascade lasers. The LDP-3830 provides adjustable peak pulse current up to 5A with a compliance voltage up to 20V, adjustable pulse widths from 25 ns to 1 µs, and adjustable duty cycle from 0.01% to 5.00%. Careful attention to the design provides for highly repeatable pulse to pulse amplitude and pulse width. Laser protection features incorporated in the LDP-3830 include redundant current limits, transient protection, floating outputs, and safety interlocks. •Pulsed current output up to 5 amps •20 V compliance voltage •Adjustable pulse width from 25 ns to 1 us with adjustable duty cycle up to 5% •Laser diode protection including current limits, transient protection, safety interlocks and •shorting relay •USB and GPIB computer interfaces •LabVIEW® instrument driver Precision Pulse Control for Laser Diodes and Quantum Cascade Lasers The LDP-3830 was designed to provide safe and repeatable pulse current for laser diodes and quantum cascade lasers. The LDP-3830 is capable of delivering up to 5A peak current over a pulse width range of 25 ns to 1 µs with a maximum duty cycle of 5%. To achieve pulse widths of 25 ns with rise times less than 10 ns, the pulse circuitry is contained in the LPB-386 Pulse Board with all control functions being sent from the LDP-3830. For accurate monitoring of laser drive parameters, the LPB-386 Pulse Board has the ability to monitor the current via a switch located on the LPB-386. For quantum cascade laser applications, the LDP-3830 can deliver up to 20V of compliance with highly repeatable pulse to pulse amplitude and pulse width.
