LASELEC�s LYDYA� drives complete laser system
Added: (Tue Mar 28 2006)
LASELEC of France, a specialist in cable-marking machines, has launched the LYDYA� laser diode drivers, which are able to control complete industrial laser systems in safety while also providing the longest possible service life. LASELEC will attend the RayForm trade show in Moscow from 28 to 31 March 2006.
LYDYA� drivers generate savings in regard to costly software and hardware development and are primarily designed for research laboratories and OEMs. LYDYA� Q-CW and CW laser diode drivers are able to control diodes, diode bars and stacks, and their power varies from a few watts to several kilowatts. Another advantage is that LYDYA� drivers are totally controllable through using a computer. They can manage a complete laser system enclosed in a single device (cooling system, user safety, Q-switch triggering, optical power measurement, etc.).
LYDYA� laser diode drivers also offer an exclusive protection system � LYDYA� shunt diodes. This system connects to the diode terminals and automatically short-circuits them when they are not being used or are not connected to LYDYA�. It also protects the diodes from reverse currents as well as from transient effects. LYDYA� drivers integrate a programmable current start-up ramp and their high-power circuit was created in such a way as to provide an adjustable current regulated with a great degree of precision in order to protect the laser diodes from current overshoots.
A temperature controller with a temperaturised ramp can also be embedded (as an optional feature) in LYDYA�. This system enables the temperature of the diodes to be regulated as they are operating and protects them against temperature peaks. It is also possible to obtain a complete fibre-coupled laser diode since LASELEC supplements its product range with a laser diode integration service.
