Pulsed diode drivers for Nd:YAG pumping
We offer pulsed diode drivers for pumping femtosecond, picosecond, and nanosecond solid-state lasers based on crystal (Nd:YAG and similar lasers), microchip, fiber, or direct-diode technology, providing a fast-switching, low-noise, accurate, and efficient current source.
SDC-50A – diode driver for pumping microchip Nd:YAG and similar lasers.
SDC-150 – a complete 40–50 W solution including TEC and a Pockels cell driver for powering and controlling diode-pumped solid-state Nd:YAG lasers.
SDC-BT – a laboratory diode driver with touchscreen in a benchtop enclosure including one or two TECs, delivering up to 90 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.
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)
