Pulsed voltage laser diode drivers require a resistance in series with the device under test (usually a diode)
in order to limit the current. The output current is then defined by an equation similar to IOUT =
(VPULSER - VDIODE) / (RSERIES + RDIODE). Although this introduces a
small dependence on VDIODE, much faster rise times can be achieved with this approach than with true
pulsed constant current instruments.
To choose a laser diode driver:
- Use the "Pick the Perfect Pulser" parametric search engine, or
- Use the selection table below, or
- Call us for advice (888-670-8729 or +1-613-686-6675).
Avtech can often customize pulse parameters and socketing to meet particular requirements.
