AMP-BLD-6560-NS is a compact short-pulse seed laser diode driver for powering 14-pin butterfly laser diode modules for applications, which require pulse widths from 1 ns to 100 ns. The driver circuitry requires a single 5 VDC power source. All other needed voltages are generated on the board by high-efficiency switching power supplies.

The driver supplies a bidirectional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) thermoelectric cooler (TEC) controller with a current capability of 1.5 A and a voltage capability of 4 V. The current pulse monitor output can be viewed with an oscilloscope by on-board SMA connector allowing the user a real time view of the current.

The AMP-BLD-6560-NS has an external TTL-compatible input for repetition rate control from single shot up to 20 MHz. The AMP-BLD-6560-NS has an external output for synchronization with each optical output.
