1000W pulsed laser diode driver PDD-1000 is a series of drivers. The modules are fast-switching, low-noise, accurate, and efficient current sources for laser diodes. They were developed primarily for medical and aesthetic treatments, particularly hair removal applications in systems with two handpieces. The driver operates from a DC input, assuming it is powered from the buffer capacitor bank integrated into the system. This configuration allows both flashlamp and diode applicators to be used simultaneously in the same hair removal system.
PDD-1000 provides an average output power of up to 1000 W and a maximum peak output power of up to 10 kW (depending on the user-defined Imax and Vmax). A low-power, low-cost 500 W version of the driver is also available.

System with diodes and flashlamp

The modules also require a +24 V DC power supply for the interface circuits.
Several variants of the 1000 W pulsed laser diode driver PDD-1000 are available with different maximum output voltage levels (Vmax), selectable at the time of order. The default value is 50 V. Higher output voltages, up to 200 V, are available on request. We recommend selecting Vmax as close as possible to the operating voltage of your laser diodes to ensure optimal operation of the driver.
During operation, the output current can be set by the user within the range of 0 A to Imax by applying a DC voltage to the corresponding pin.
The module can also be controlled using an additional external remote control unit, LDD-RC, which is sold separately.
Since the driver was specially designed for integration into the secondary circuits of hair removal systems, it does not require individual certification for compliance with medical standards. However, it is designed to meet the applicable requirements for integration into medical systems. Therefore, PDD-1000 can be used in medical systems without modifications to the driver, additional filtering, or additional protective measures.
High reliability and efficiency, an easy-to-integrate OEM design, and customizable parameters for tailored solutions make the PDD-1000 series an attractive solution for the market.

* The parameters are not independent of each other. There are certain limitations:
1. 0.7 ⋅ Vmax < V < Vmax (recommended)
2. I < Imax
3. V ⋅ I < Vmax ⋅ Imax = Ppeak < 10 kW
4. V ⋅ I ⋅ t
5. V ⋅ I ⋅ t ⋅ f
