Pulsed diode drivers for Nd:YAG pumping
We offer the SDC-series of pulsed diode drivers, which were designed for pumping Q-switched solid-state lasers based on Nd:YAG and other laser crystals. The series also includes a model for microchip Nd:YAG lasers. They provide fast switching, low noise, high accuracy, and efficient current delivery.
SDC-BT – a laboratory diode driver with touchscreen in a benchtop enclosure including one or two TECs, delivering up to 100 W of output power. SDC-200 – open-frame version of the SDC-BT.
SDC-4U – a high-power rack-mounted laboratory diode driver with touchscreen, delivering up to 1500 W. The core functional module of the SDC-4U system is the SDC-400 laser diode driver board. The SDC-4U integrates the SDC-400 with a built-in power supply, capacitor bank, charging module, communication interfaces, and a touchscreen user interface, forming a complete standalone laser diode driver system.
SDC-50A – diode driver for pumping microchip Nd:YAG and similar lasers.
For your convenience for pulsed drivers we offer a calculator for an average output power and a pulse energy (link to open it as a new window)
