PLDD-75-9-1

75 AmpP, 9 Bar, Pulsed Laser Diode Driver

The PLDD-75-9-1 is an ultra-miniature, battery operated, laser diode driver for driving up to 9 stacked bars to 75 amps of peak current. Due to the compact size and weight (only 22 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 pulse width.

The optional Universal Interface Board, (UIB-01) allows the user 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-75-9-1 can be powered by a +5 volt supply or two DL123 lithium batteries in series, or equivalent.
