- Laser Diode Protection Circuits and Current Limit
- Set-Up Operate Modes
- Current and Power Control Modules
The Martek Power LDI-800 Series 1.0 and 2.0 Amp Laser Diode Drivers are
a general purpose laboratory power
supply and laser diode driver useful
for any cw laser diode. Designed
specifically for safe and fault-free
operation of laser diodes, the LDI-800
includes transient suppression and
diode protective circuits, a feedback
amplifier, set-up mode with a dummy
load, overcurrent limit, and full TE
cooler control.
The driver provides 3.5 digit display
of six key operating functions,
and requires operator command for
laser turn-on. Embedded microprocessor
based logic prohibits illegal
commands, while highly stabilized analog
circuits provide final laser diode
drive.
The thermoelectric cooler controller
operates the TEC option on SDL-
2350 Series laser diodes. It may also be
used with Peltier elements up to 1.5
A and 3 V, and 10 kΩ thermistor.
The LDI-800M is a high current
version of the model LDI-800 driver.
It provides nearly 2 amps of diode
operating current and includes many
of the operating features of the LDI-
800. It was designed to power laser
diodes such as the 1.2 W SDL-2360
Series.
The 800M supplies transientfree
and stable electrical power. It
does not include TE cooling capability,
a feature provided in the LDI-800.
Devices requiring temperature stabilization
may be thermally controlled
with a separate TE cooler driver and
temperature sensor, or by either the
LDI-800 or LDI-820.
The LDI-800 Martek Power Laser Diode Driver may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
