Laser diode driver provides up to 450 A

The PCX-7500 high-power laser diode driver provides precision pulsed current with accurate microprocessor-based digital power control. This instrument is an air-cooled, benchtop current source designed to drive laser diodes, bars and arrays at up to 450 A and 110 V max forward voltage. Pulse widths are adjustable from 4 to 5,000 μs, with a frequency up to 10,000 Hz.

Other features include a rise and fall time of less than 15 μs, the ability to drive both single diodes and arrays, and safety features such as overcurrent limit, open-load detection, and diode steering. The PCX-7500 is suited for research, laboratory, scientific, and industrial applications.
