AMI offers a line of CW laser diode drivers for both high current and low current applications. The AMI Model 787 is ideal for compact industrial and medical laser applications. Proprietary technology allows AMI to offer a 50 A, 5 V CW diode driver with industry leading efficiency and footprint. The Model 787 can be “stacked” for higher current applications. For applications benefiting from extremely low output ripple and precise control the Model 785A is an excellent choice. The end user can shape laser diode output waveforms with a modulation bandwidth of 600 kHz.
Our 2 kW high power driver Model 5705 is designed to allow you to chain multiple modules together for even higher power applications.
For laboratory and bench top CW laser diode driver applications AMI offers the The Model 880D CW laser diode controller. This turn-key rack mount system provides CW output currents to drive laser diodes for pumping solid-state lasers. The Model 880D offers front panel and remote controls or it can be operated via a RS-232 interface. The output current is presented on an easy-to-read LCD display. The Model 880D is an excellent prototyping tool that allows the CW diode laser developer operating 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 be cost competitive, have high reliability and a small footprint.
The standard products below represent statements of capability. Most of the CW laser diode drivers AMI sells for OEM production are customized to meet the requirements of the end use. Please contact AMI today to discuss the specific requirements of your application.
