• LD-1500A/3000A is high power QCW laser diode drivers/power supply capable of 20KW (170V/120A) QCW output power. The QCW time period is limited by both average powers and current droop specified. Please refer to Product Manual for detail.
  • LD-1500A/3000A are also designed as high speed, high current CW/pulse laser diode drivers, of which CW power are 1.5KW and 3KW respectively and the peak current is up to 350A with the rise time of 50ns in Super Pulse mode.
  • LD-1500A/3000A uses a high frequency capacitor charging power supply to convert AC input power to a desirable DC output voltage. A DC power supply for QCW laser diode driver requires a special power supply since the load impedance changes from a short condition to an infinite impedance. To keep high efficiency and charge up the output capacitor in short time, the DC power supply should be specially designed for this purpose.
  • With a sub unit of LDC-120/250/XXX-XX, the outputs will extend up to 15MHz, 1.5ns pulse width, and several KA/KV output. Please refer to LDC-120/250 Manual for details.
