IXYS Colorado unveils high-powered pulsed laser diode driver
FORT COLLINS, Colo., 21 June 2008. IXYS Corp., maker of power semiconductors for power conversion and motioncontrol applications, introduced the PCX-7450 by its Coloradodivision.
The PCX-7450 is an air-cooled, high-power pulsed current sourcedesigned to drive diode lasers, bars and arrays. It deliverscurrent pulses variable from 20A to 150A, pulse widths from 10micro s to 5 micro s, rise and fall times of 5 micro s to 1 ms, andpulse repetition frequencies variable from single shot to 5 KHzwith duty cycles limited by total power dissipation.
