Laser Diode Controllers

Model 8800DFor laboratory and bench top laser diode driver applications AMI offers the Models 8800D laser diode controller.  This turn-key rack mount system provides output current to drive laser diodes for pumping solid-state lasers. It offers front panel and remote controls as well as operation via a RS-232 interface.  The output current is presented on an easy-to-read LCD display.  The Model 8800D is an excellent prototyping tool that allows the laser developer flexibility to determine the best laser diode and drive for their end use.  Once the final requirements are defined AMI can help specify and design an OEM driver tailored to your application that will have a lower cost, high reliability and a small footprint.

The Model 8800D laser diode controller provides pulsed output currents to drive laser diodes for pumping solid-state lasers. An internal microprocessor provides the flexibility and convenience of software control and the system status is presented on an easy-to-read LCD graphics display. The 8800D can be configured with one or two power modules for up to 2.8kW of output power. Protection features of the 8800D include an adjustable precision current limit which protects the laser diode from exceeding its maximum rating.
