2 October 2012 www.newport.com LDP-3830 Precision Pulsed Current Source Key Features Pulsed current output up to 5 A 20 V compliance voltage Adjustable pulse width from 25 ns to 1 µs with adjustable duty cycle up to 5% Laser diode protection including current limits, transient protection, safety interlocks, and shorting relay L A S E R D I O D E I N S T R U M E N T A T I O N USB and GPIB computer interfaces LabVIEW® drivers Newport’s ILX Lightwave LDP-3830 pulsed precision current source is specifically designed for controlling laser diodes and quantum cascade lasers. The LDP-3830 provides adjustable peak pulse current up to 5 A with a compliance voltage up to 20V, adjustable pulse widths from 25 ns to 1 µs, and adjustable duty cycle from 0 to 5%. Careful attention to the design provides for highly repeatable pulse to pulse amplitude and pulse width. Laser protection features incorporated in the LDP-3830 include redundant current limits, transient protection, floating outputs, and safety interlocks. WEB To learn more, visit www.newport.com/LDP3830 For seamless integration into your automated test application, the LDP-3830 comes standard with GPIB/IEEE 488.2 and USB 2.0 computer interfaces. Additional instrument flexibility is provided by trigger in and trigger out functions to control pulses and initiate corresponding measurements without a command program LDX-3500B Precision Laser Diode Driver Key Features Three models with source current from 200 mA to 6 A High stability, low noise current source specifically for laser diodes Constant current and constant power operating modes Analog current modulation input USB 2.0 computer interface LabVIEW® drivers The new ILX Lightwave LDX-3500B Series laser diode drivers are a family of low noise high stability current sources specifically for precision control of low to high power laser diodes. Three models with a maximum output current range from 200 mA to 6 A operate in constant current or constant optical power modes to cover a wide range of laser diode testing and control applications. In addition to precision current control, the LDX3500B Series drivers also feature photodiode current measurement for constant power control, analog modulation for power and wavelength tuning, and an analog output for remote monitoring. All of ILX's proven laser diode protection strategies are designed into each model with includes adjustable current WEB To learn more, visit www.newport.com/LDX-3500B limits, shorting relays, slow turn-on circuits, and transient protection during power up and laser operation. A new front panel for the LDX-3500B Series instruments allows for quick and easy operation. Error indicators help resolve setup problems quickly such as open circuit and current and power limits. The new USB interface and control software allows for fast, repeatable instrument control during R&D and manufacturing testing and other control applications. http://www.newport.com http://search.newport.com/?q=*&x2=sku&q2=LDP-3830 http://search.newport.com/?q=*&x2=sku&q2=LDP-3830 http://www.newport.com/LDX-3500-Series-Laser-Diode-Drivers/1009697/1033/info.aspx http://www.newport.com/LDX-3500-Series-Laser-Diode-Drivers/1009697/1033/info.aspx
