Nanosecond drivers with ultra-short pulses and high power

LASER COMPONENTS now has two compact, powerful nanosecond drivers for laser diodes in its range of products. LDP-AV 16N45-40 and LDP-AV 1N50-450 were developed by the manufacturer PicoLAS primarily for use in LiDAR applications.

The LDP-AV 16N45-40 electronics have 16 separate channels that can be equipped with a total current of 640A; therefore, an output current of up to four amps is available in each channel. Each of these channels can be controlled independently and sequentially. This makes the driver ideal for multi-channel applications. The duration of the individual pulses is set by the manufacturer according to customer specifications.

Laser powers of more than 650W can be controlled with the LDP-AV 1N50-450. The electronics are particularly compact and offer output currents of 450A and a power density of 1.71W/mm² at a pulse duration of five nano seconds.

Other pulse durations can also be permanently set. Laser diodes and other emitters can be mounted directly to the circuit board of the driver to avoid interference from induction currents.
