PLDD-300-1-20

300 Amp, Single Bar, 20 Hz, Pulsed Laser Diode Driver

The PLDD-300-1-20 is an ultra-miniature, short pulse, laser diode driver for driving a single laser diode bar to 300 amps of peak current. Due to the compact size and weight (only 12 grams), this unit is well suited for man-portable and airborne applications.

The magnitude of the output current is controlled either by an on-board potentiometer or a user supplied DC voltage. The input trigger signal controls the pulsewidth.

Using the optional Universal Interface Board (UIB-01) the user has easy access to all control pins. Commonly used signals are available through BNC connections such as the input trigger and the current monitor which allows the user a real time view of the current.

The PLDD-300-1-20 can be powered by a +12 volt supply. Contact factory for recommendations on battery operation.
