PLDD-2-SP Pulsed Laser Diode Driver

The PLDD-2-SP is a compact all solid-state, pulsed current source designed to drive single or multichip laser diodes. The unit features a peak current of 2 amps with a rise-time of <2 ns (load dependent) and a fixed pulse width of 50 ns. The pulse repetition frequency can be varied from single shot to 1 MHz*.

The PLDD-2-SP is a light weight driver where the current amplitude is controlled by an on-board potentiometer.

The current monitor output may be viewed with an oscilloscope allowing the user a real time view of the current.

The PLDD-2-SP requires a user supplied +24 to 28 volt input supply.

* May be higher at lower peak currents and may be load dependent.
