Newport Corporation, a widely known leader in laser diode control and test instruments, introduces all new 5700 Series High-Power Laser Diode Drivers, available in one of the following configurations: 30 A – 5 V (Model 5700-30-5) , 80 A – 7.5 V (5700-80-7), 150 A – 20 V (5700-150) and a 100 A – 30 V (5700-100). The 30 A and 80 A laser diode drivers are best suited for driving a single bar laser diode, while the 100 A and 150 A models are for a high power diode bar stack. Ideal for R&D, manufacturing, and quality control, the products are capable of operating in either CW (continuous wave) or pulsed current mode, either locally or remotely controlled. A full LIV characterization of laser diodes is attainable via USB2.0 interface, and software drivers provided with the instrument. Incorrect settings are prevented during the setup mode to protect the laser diode. When the instrument power is turned off, program settings are saved in the non-volatile memory. Users can change setup parameters as needed to facilitate multiple test requirements. Comprehensive laser diode protection is provided, including transient filtering, intermittent contact protection, independent current limit and power limit settings, and a ...

Users can change setup parameters as needed to facilitate multiple test requirements. Comprehensive laser diode protection is provided, including transient filtering, intermittent contact protection, independent current limit and power limit settings, and a slow turn on sequence. The 100 A and 150 A laser diode drivers require a 220 V NEMA L6-30 type wall plug, while the -INTL versions come with bare wires so that international customers can install a proper wall plug. The 30 A and 80 versions come with a standard IEC320 removable power cord. A single DB25 connector is conveniently used to handle all control signal input/output requirements, including the TTL input and output interlock, current monitor, and voltage monitor. A DB25 connector interlock is included in the instrument.
