Tech Note: Design Issues with Diode Modulation at >10A<\/em><\/a><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1540495121048{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Operation of a laser diode, a laser diode driver, and a power supply at high currents\u00a0(greater than 10 A) and high modulation frequencies introduces technical difficulties that may not appear when operating under less demanding conditions. The latent electronic limitations become a dominant factor in performance. Without special care, the system as a whole can see degraded performance. In\u00a0TN-LD04<\/a><\/em>, design issues are discussed with reference to modulation waveforms at greater than 10 A operation.\u00a0Design solutions are presented, as well as\u00a0suggestions for choosing a well-suited power supply.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6279″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1540497283124{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

NEW FAQ1167:\u00a0How are diode lasers used in materials processing, and what Wavelength Electronics drivers can be used for this application?<\/em><\/a><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1540495870832{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Diode lasers are used for materials processing tasks such as cutting, welding, marking, hardening, soldering, and brazing among others. Given the relatively low maximum power of an individual laser diode, bars (1-dimensional array of emitters) and stacks (2-dimensional array of emitters) are used to increase the overall output power of the materials processing system.\u00a0 The new 15A\u00a0\/\u00a030V\u00a0LD15CHA<\/a>\u00a0Laser Diode Driver, which boasts a 600 kHz bandwidth and\u00a0RMS Noise Current as low as 35 \u03bcA at 100 kHz,\u00a0is well-suited to these applications.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6254″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1540497107588{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

NEW FAQ1168:\u00a0Using the QCL LAB drivers for higher voltage green and blue laser diodes<\/em>\u00a0<\/a><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1540496186054{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The QCL LAB drivers can be used with any laser diodes that have greater than 4V forward voltage.\u00a0 It’s perfect for driving blue or green laser diodes that need low noise and narrow linewidth. The QCL LAB acts as a controlled current sink, meaning that the anode of the laser diode will be held at a ground potential, while the cathode is then a negative voltage. The laser diode cathode must not be connected to case or earth ground, otherwise there will be a load short.<\/p>\n
