More Information

Newport / ILX Lightwave LDX-36018-35 High Power Laser Diode Current Source Overview

Features:

  • 125 Continuous Wave Current
  • 220 Quasi-Continuous Wave Current
  • Remote Operation Via IEEE488/GPIB
  • Thermistor Based Temperature Monitor
The Newport / ILX Lightwave LDX-36000 Series High Power Laser Diode Current Sources are capable of delivering very high currents, up to 125A CW and 220A QCW with a compliance voltage up to 35 Volts. These current sources are designed for testing and controlling multiple high power laser diodes with specially designed features such as high set-point accuracy, low output noise, forward voltage, and photodiode measurement and an adjustable photodiode reverse bias voltage.

These current sources also offer many laser diode protection features which protect the laser diode during testing from electrical transients and providing safeguards such as adjustable voltage and current limits. Low current overshoot in either CW or QCW mode and closed loop power supply control prevent surge currents in the case of a device failure with multiple diodes connected in series. A thermistor based temperature monitor provides additional protection through a programmable temperature limit which can be used to disable the laser output when a temperature limit is exceeded. Dual independent interlocks are provided for further laser and operator protection.

Remote instrument operation is possible on all LDX-36000 Series Current Sources through an IEEE488/GPIB interface. All instrument controls and functions are programmable for test sequencing, measurements and data handling in automated test systems. Synchronization with other measurement or control instruments is possible with an input and output trigger function with programmable delays. Multiple test configurations can be saved and easily recalled through Save and Recall functions from the front panel or through the GPIB interface.

The ILX Lightwave LDX-36018-35 High Power Laser Diode Current Source may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

High Power Laser Diode Current Source Price & Specs

Newport / ILX Lightwave LDX-36018-35 High Power Laser Diode Current Source Description

Functions

Precision current source designed for driving high power laser diodes in continuous wave, pulse, or high pulse modes with output ranges up to 18A CW, 40A pulse, and 18A HPulse. Features 10mA set-point resolution and 0.1% +10mA set-point accuracy. Provides controlled current delivery for laser diode operation, characterization, and testing in research, development, and manufacturing environments.

Platforms

This instrument precisely controls high-current output (up to 40A pulse, 18A CW) with 10mA resolution and 0.1% accuracy for driving high-power laser diodes. It operates as a benchtop or rack-mounted unit, integrating into optical test, manufacturing, and R&D systems. Interfaces typically include laser diode output with interlocks and remote control via GPIB/USB/Ethernet. Applications include industrial pumping, medical lasers, LiDAR, material processing, and telecommunications component testing.

Applications

High-precision current source designed for driving high-power laser diodes in continuous wave and pulsed modes, operable in laboratory and industrial laser test setups; interfaces via standard electrical connectors for integration with laser diode modules and control systems; used in applications requiring stable, accurate current delivery up to 18A CW and 40A pulsed for photonics research, optical communications, and semiconductor laser characterization.
