Laser Diode Drivers
Dual Range & 4-Wire Sense
on the New 4200-DR
The new
4200-DR
drivers feature a dual range operation,
giving you the exibility to drive high current devices, while
also having a low current, higher precision, lower noise mode,
further expanding on the exibility of our low current drivers.
In addition to dual range, the
4200-DR
adds four-wire voltage
sense for more accurate device voltage measurements.
Full Isolation Means No Ground Loops
Ground loops can plague instrument setups. In a major design
improvement over traditional laser drivers, every input & output
are optically and electrically isolated from each other, creat-
ing a versatile instrument that is unaected by the electrical
conguration of your diode or other test equipment. Even the
photodiode input is fully isolated from the laser output, ensur-
ing full isolation of the laser output from unwanted ground
loops and other electrical disturbances. No other driver on the
market has this capability.
Computer Interfaces
All LaserSources come standard with a USB interface, and
4300 LaserSources also include RS-232. They are command
set compatible with other manufacturers’ drivers, allowing
you to leverage any existing software you may have already
developed.
Quasi-CW (QCW) Capable
The 4300 Series LaserSource can be optionally equipped for
quasi-CW (QCW) measurements, and feature both a trigger
in and trigger out BNC for synchronization with other instru-
ments. Pulses can be generated using the internal function
generator, or triggered externally. Adding QCW mode does
not mean you lose CW operation: QCW-equipped instruments
retain all the capabilities of their CW-only cousins.
Analog Modulation
All LaserSources support analog modulation, and hardware
protection is active during modulation, protecting the laser
diode regardless of the modulation input signal.
Powerful User Interface
Unlike other instruments, the LaserSource employs a dot-
pixel character display that allows for human-readable status,
readings, and errors. No longer do you need to get out the
manual to gure out how to set the current limit, or to under-
stand what error 114 is; you can read it directly on the display
in plain English.
Need More Current or Voltage?
Call Us...
While we oer several standard current ranges, many appli-
cations require higher voltages or higher currents. Call us to
discuss your high voltage or high current application, and we’ll
see if we have a solution for you.
