ALPhANOV, the technology center of the Bordeaux Route des lasers cluster, introduces a new family of diode driver modules. With the new Cool & Control (CC) diode driver modules, single-mode and multimode diodes can now be reliably and securely driven with compact devices.

The single-mode Cool & Control module (CC-S) drives and cools external standard butterfly laser diodes. From single-shot to CW with pulse lengths from 100's of psec to any required pulse burst configuration, its pulses are generated internally or on-demand from a LVTTL signal with ~500ps rise time range and up to 0.5 Amps CW current and 3.5 Amps peak current in the nsec range. 3 Amps CW and 10 Amps peak current

High Power versions also available upon request.

 Compatible with standard butterfly laser diodes
 Pulses on-demand from CW to any burst configuration by TTL/LVTTL command
 Up to 250Mhz repetition rate
 Down to 500ps rise time
 Up to 3.5A peak current (10 Amp High current version available on-demand)
 USB, manual & analog (0-5V) signal peak power adjustment
 Smart control (USB interface)

CC-S Module

The multimode Cool & Control module (CC-M) allows to control external single or multiple element laser
diodes up to 20V-15 Amps. The diode can be stabilized in either ACC (Automatic Current Control) or APC
(Automatic Power Control using an external photodiode signal).

 Drive diodes up to 20V-15A
 Ultra-stable laser power for short and long term operation
 Compatible with any type of multimode fiber coupled multiple element laser diodes
 Up to 80W CW power with new generation diodes
 Max modulation frequency : 500kHz
 Highly efficient (>80% from plug)
 Smart control (USB interface)
