Laser diode driver provides precision pulsed current
Providing precision pulsed current with accurate microprocessor-based digital power control, the PCX-7500 high-power laser diode driver/current source has been announced today by IXYS. Pulse widths are adjustable from 4 microseconds to 5000 microseconds, with a frequency up to 10 000 hertz.
CE and RoHS compliant, the PCX-7500 is an air-cooled, benchtop current source designed to drive laser diodes, bars and arrays at up to 450 amperes of current and 110 volts maximum forward voltage. The PCX-7500 also features safety features including overcurrent limit, open-load detection and diode steering which prevents reverse current.
Utilizing one of several communication choices standard with the PCX-7500, users can easily develop automated testing and characterization configurations which can be stored in the instrument’s on-board memory. It may also be operated through its intuitive front panel controls. The color LCD provides immediate visual confirmation of all operating parameters.
“The PCX-7500 represents a new level in output power for IXYS Colorado’s 7000 series laser diode drivers,” said Stephen Krausse, General Manager of DEI. “This driver leverages decades of IXYS Colorado design and the power integration experience of our parent company (IXYS Power) to deliver one of the highest current drivers available on the market today.”
The PCX-7500 is ideal for research, laboratory, scientific and industrial applications.
