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 a 150 A – 20 V and a 100 A – 30 V configuration. 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. The diode laser driver is perfect for driving multiple high-power laser diode bar stacks connected in series as well as a single bar. A full LIV characterization of laser diodes is attainable via fast USB2.0 interface, with a software driver that comes with the instrument. Incorrect settings are prevented during the setup mode to protect the laser diode. When power is turned off, program settings are saved in non-volatile memory. Users can change setup parameters as needed to facilitate multiple test requirements. Complete laser diode protection is provided, including transient detection and filtering, intermittent contact protection, independent current limit and power limit settings, output off shorting circuits and a slow turn on sequence.
