Current supplies put laser diodes to the test
Newport Corp has a new series of laser diode current supplies that offer a level of performance and functionality previously unavailable in low cost instruments.
The new additions deliver significant performance/price advances at 10GHz, a wider selection of picosecond products, the world's fastest commercial visible detector (7ps), and a novel, flexible detector package with 1MHz response that incorporates both tunable gain and filters.
These photodetectors are targeted at R and D laboratory applications in laser-based research as well applications in test and measurement, and telecomms development, where their integrated packaging provides simple, turnkey operation.
This operational simplicity is further enhanced with the option of either free-space or fibre-coupled inputs and the choice of either high- or low-impedance termination.
Specific applications of these detectors include temporal profiling of nanosecond lasers and monitoring chirped amplification of ultrafast laser pulses.
Standout new products include: additions to the 818-BB series of biased photodetectors that provide low-cost solutions for applications requiring a 10GHz bandwidth; the novel 818-GF photodetector that incorporates variable gain and fully adjustable low and high frequency filters (up to 1MHz); the record setting PX-D7 - claimed to be the fastest available visible detector, with a response time of only 7ps, representing a frequency response of 60 GHz.
