Flashlamp drivers (modules)
OEM Tech offers several flashlamp driver solutions designed to generate pulses on a flashlamp and provide simmer current during the intervals between pulses. You can choose between complete flashlamp drivers housed in a case — equipped with an internal capacitor bank and control board — or flexible modular systems tailored to specific applications.
To calculate pulse energy delivered to the lamp, peak current, and the voltage on the lamp at the end of the pulse, please refer to our calculator page
- PCA-series capacitor charging power supply (1 kW, 2 kW or 4 kW)
- CB-series boards combined into a capacitor bank
- One or two NBU-1012 discharge circuits
- LSCB controlling board (RS-232 or RS-485 interface)
- PC software
- Auxiliary power supplies, interconnection cables, etc.
LSCB is a control board, which provides parameters control and coordinated operation of power modules by OEM Tech to drive laser or IPL system flashlamp(s). By default, LSCB supports the next devices:
- One capacitor charger from PCA-series
- One or two NBU-1012 discharge circuits (four channel version is available on request)
- One Pockels cell driver from QBD- or QBU-series
- Minor features like IDC, footswitch, synchro input and outputs
Base interface is RS-232 (RS-485 on request). Simple PC software is supplied together with the module.
FLD-mini is a low-power (up to 700 W) all-in-one flashlamp driver specially designed to pump Nd:YAG and similar solid-state lasers. Driver’s major features are (base / high-power versions):
- 24 / 48 V DC input
- Maximum output power – 300 W / 700 W
- Maximum output voltage –
up to 700 V - Built-in capacitor bank
- Flashlamp trigger and simmer circuits
- RS-232 machine interface (RS-485 on request)
FLD-nano is a low power (up to 100 W) compact but powerful flashlamp driver designed for air-cooled flashlamps. Driver’s major features are:
- 24 V DC input
- Average output power – up to 100 W
- Up to 1000 V output voltage
- External triggering, no simmer
