- 3 Integrated Pulse Delay Generators
- GUI software and several libraries software integration (LabVIEW, DLLs, Hexa, Python)
High speed laser diode driver KEY FEATURES :
- Direct modulation of nanosecond laser pulses with any shape
- Built-in pulse AWG with internal or remote triggering
- 0 to 1.6 A output current with 16 bit/48 dB/30 μA resolution
- Integrated TEC controller with over temperature protection
- Special mode for laser diode “gain switch peak” suppression
- Two versions for either direct modulation or external modulation (see spec table and pictures)
- 3 Integrated Pulse Delay Generators
- GUI software and several libraries software integration (LabVIEW, DLLs, Hexa, Python)
The GUI software lets the user have total control of all module functions. It includes several libraries for software integration ((Labview VIs, DLLs, Hexa, Python etc.)
Applications of this driver includes high energy laser seeding, LIDAR testing, etc.
This high speed laser diode driver works alone or in series with other products in our range like :
- Pulsed laser diode driver
- Multi channel laser diode driver
- Fiber laser diode driver
- 915 nm laser diode
- 1064 nm laser diode
- 1550 nm laser diode
- Fiber optic modulator
- SOA pulsed driver
- Pulse delay generator
- Pulse picker
DFB or Bragg-based laser diodes such as Thorlabs, lumentum or 3SP are perfectly well controlled.
All Aerodiode products can be connected together with a single GUI interface which consolidates all module functions. This allows the users to save a lot of time.
