Laser Diode Driver, High Power CW/QCW, 50A, 12V, GPIB
The LDX-36050-12 High Power Laser Diode Driver is a 50A and 12V current source that offers CW, QCW, and Hard Pulse Output with multiple levels of laser diode protection. In QCW mode the LDX36050-12 can output up to 100A at 12V. In addition the LDX3605012 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.
