21 Jan 2009 The new LDP-V series provides many possibilities for the secure operation of pulsed laser diodes at different power levels and ns pulses. The very small and inexpensive pulse sources have been optimized for repetition rates from a single pulse to the MHz range. Only the duty cycle of the applied pulsed laser diode needs to be taken into account. The different TO housings available for PLDs can be connected to the PCB without a problem. The unit is thus very easy to operate. It only requires a supply voltage of +12-15 V and a trigger signal. External components such as, for example, control interfaces are not necessary. Thanks to the driver modules, pulsed laser diodes can be operated as easily as their cw counterparts.
The combination of PLDs and driver modules can be found in optical measurement (LIDAR, laser guns, scanners), in optical data scanning (barcode scanners), and in medical technology. |
