DEI offers a variety of laser diode driver instruments designed with the laser researcher, system designer and scientist in mind.
In both bench-top and rack-mount configurations, as well as a variety of compliance voltages and pulse configurations allow for a range of applications including both single diode and diode arrays as well as non-laser applications requiring a current source.
These instruments are a cornerstone of the early development for customers who take advantage of our Lab to Launch program for specific requirements and are perfect for burn-in, characterization and scientific installations.
Typical Applications
- Diode Characterization
- Diode Burn-In
- Marking and Engraving
