PULSED LASER DIODE DRIVER

The DLD-100B is a high speed, high current pulsed laser diode driver designed to operate at 5A to 40A output current with continuously variable pulse widths from 12ns to 1µs (Option A), and frequencies up to 1MHz.
The DLD-100B is available in two models. Option A is optimized for fast rise and fall times and a narrower minimum pulse width than Option B. Option B is optimized for maximum duty cycle and efficiency, with a slower rise time and longer minimum pulse width than Option A. (See specific performance data on the following pages.)
The output pulse is launched on low inductance pads. The laser diode can be mounted directly on the driver, or connected via a low inductance stripline interconnect.
The driver is supplied mounted on a 1/4” aluminum heat spreader to provide the cooling needed for the switching transistor, and to simplify mounting or installation of the driver.
