LDQPC QUASI-PULSED LASER DIODE DRIVER
The LDQPC quasi-pulsed laser diode drivers are specifically designed for low cost high volume applications. These DC input modules are avail- able with average output power to 75 watts and current output to 200 amps. With a rise/fall time of <10us. they are ideally suited for compact short pulse laser applications. All configurations require 15 or 24volts DC and feature a simple analog interface. Output current and voltage can be specified to meet your requirements.
Built around the same topology that has made Lumina Power laser diode drivers the standard of the industry, these board level products offer the reliability and diode protection of the larger LDQCW series in a compact easy to integrate package.

Proper cooling of the LDQPC board is critical to the operation and reliability of the product. The diagram above shows the fan positions and required airflow for the various output currents. The fan must be positioned as close to the board as possible to properly cool the heatsinks. Note: Failure to properly cool the board using the correct size and position of the fans may result in thermal shutdown and potential catastrophic damage to the power supply. Damage to the board from inadequate cooling is not covered under warranty
Typical Waveform
The LDQPC supplies are designed for pulsed operation and have a very short rise/fall time. The waveform shown is a scope trace of a 70 amp
pulse with a rise time of 10µs. Rise times vary depending upon output voltage and current. For pulsed diodes applications where compliance
voltages are greater than 10V the LDQCW pulsed laser diode drivers are available with output currents to 200 amps and compliance voltages to 100V.
