Laser Diode Driver, High Power CW/QCW, 18A, 35V, GPIB
The LDX-36018-35 High Power Laser Diode Driver is an 18A and 35V current source that offers CW, QCW, and Hard Pulse Output with multiple levels of laser diode protection. In QCW mode the LDX36018-35 can output up to 40A at 35V. In addition the LDX3601835 features 4-wire voltage measurement, photodiode measurement, and a trigger in and out.
For automated testing applications in an R&D or production environment, remote operation is easily accomplished through the GPIB/IEEE-488 interface. For virtual instrument programming, LabVIEW® instrument drivers are available free of charge. LabVIEW® instrument drivers can be downloaded from the Literature and Downloads tab on this page.
We offer a wide variety of precision laser diode mounts with plug and play compatibility with our laser diode instrumentation.
