Laser Diode Driver, 6A, 5V, USB, Not RoHS Compliant

The 560B Laser Diode Driver offers all the performance of the most advanced laser diode controllers for a fraction of the price. Quiet and stable 3000 or 6000 mA current driver for use in the most demanding applications, such as spectroscopy and fiber optic communications. Intuitive front panel controls make this instrument extremely simple to use. There are two operating modes: constant current or constant laser power.
Dual current-level selection lets you optimize current resolution settings by precisely varying the output to the laser diode. Comprehensive laser diode safety features are built-in including redundant FET and relay shorting circuits to protect the laser diode at the beginning of the slow turn-on sequence. The current limit setting is fully independent. External analog modulation allows you to voltage-control or modulate the output. USB interface.

Note: Drivers and software are only compatible with Windows XP and earlier platforms. Not RoHS compliant.
