Laser Diode Driver, High Power CW/QCW, 85A, 12V, GPIB [Discontinued]

The LDX-36085-12 High Power Laser Diode Driver is an 85A and 12V current source that offers CW, QCW, and Hard Pulse Output with multiple levels of laser diode protection. In QCW mode the LDX36085-12 can output up to 170A at 12V. In addition the LDX3608512 features 4-wire voltage measurement, photodiode measurement, and a trigger in and out.
For automated testing applications in an R&D or production environment, remote operation is easily accomplished through the GPIB/IEEE-488 interface. For virtual instrument programming, LabVIEW® instrument drivers are available free of charge. LabVIEW® instrument drivers can be downloaded from the Literature and Downloads tab on this page.
While supplies last! Limited one month warranty.
