Model CL1.5 laser driver is ideal for driving 14-pin butterfly or DIL packaged Laser, gain chip, or SOA for use as instrument laser source, pump laser, or power booster. The driver includes an on-board TEC controller for temperature stabilized operation of the driven laser. The driver circuitry operates from a single 5V power source. All other required voltages are generated on board by high efficiency switching power supplies.
The CL1.5 is specially designed to set the performance of driven devices at their most suitable parameters for their operations. The control of the laser can be at constant-current mode or at constant-output-power mode if the laser has internal build-in optical monitor. The maximum settable output current is 1500 mA. The maximum TEC current is 1800 mA. The CL1.5 has very stable output current that is suitable for use in stringent stability requirements.
We design and manufacture custom LD drivers to the specs of your choice. Driving mode, drive current and control interface can all be customized to fit your needs.
