High Voltage Pulse Generators and Laser Diode Drivers
High voltage, precisely timed
Directed Energy has built pulsed power instruments since 1987. Pulsers to 10 kV with 9 ns edges, and laser diode drivers to 450 A. Made in the United States, sold factory direct worldwide.
Two product lines
Everything Directed Energy makes falls into one of two families. Both are supported factory direct, and both have full specifications published here.
Laser Diode Drivers
Current sources for laser diodes and diode arrays. Pulsed, CW and quasi-CW, as benchtop instruments or OEM modules. High compliance voltages allow single diode and array use, and non-laser loads that need a current source.
