Laser diodes for material processing & laser cutting applications
The low noise LD15CHA, the newest addition to the Wavelength laser diode driver line, offers modulation bandwidth, and power for materials processing, industrial laser cutting, and laser diode bars / stacks. The small laser diode driver delivers 15A output current up to 28V. It meets laser compliance requirements from 3V with a single 5V supply, and up to 28V with an additional 30V power supply.
Additional models are available with 2.5A, 5A, and 10A output. This product family supports A & B type laser diodes. Three photodiode current ranges are available.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
