4200-DR LASER DIODE DRIVER SERIES FEATURES

The 4200-DR Series LaserSource dual range laser diode driver is ideal for low power applications, such as butterfly and TO-can lasers, as well as many LED applications. The compact enclosure takes up little space and the instrument delivers offers an excellent value.

Many of our customers have switched to the 4300 after years of using other products, and they have all made the same discovery: Why spend significantly more when you can get the same performance for a fraction of the price?

The LaserSource has all the features you would expect from a laser driver, such as safety interlock, ESD protection, and hardware limit circuits for current and voltage. Dual range allows this instrument to operate at half-scale for improved resolution.

DUAL RANGE LASER DRIVER

Operates at half-scale for improved resolution and lower noise.

OVERLAPPING LASER PROTECTION

Including safety interlock, ESD protection, hardware limits for current & voltage, soft power-on, and intermittent contact safeguards.

REMOTE VOLTAGE SENSING

Supports an extra pair of sensing wires to measure the operating voltage of your laser diode or LED.

PROGRAMMABLE PHOTODIODE BIAS VOLTAGE

Menu-selectable PD bias voltage, from 0 to -5 Volts.

ANALOG MODULATION
