5600 In Stock

The 5600 by Newport is a High Power Laser Diode Driver that delivers exceptional stability and minimal noise in its output current through sophisticated circuitry and meticulous configuration. This driver empowers precise control over laser output for diverse applications through external analog modulation. Equipped with a reversed-biased monitor photodiode at 5 Volts and an internal sine or square wave modulator, the 5600 ensures precise manipulation of laser output. The driver enables access to the laser diode's forward voltage and other critical parameters with impressive 16-bit resolution, facilitating comprehensive characterization.

Controlled via a GPIB/IEEE-488.2 interface, the 5600 provides seamless handling of measurement and control functions through the GPIB, with additional RS-232C ports simplifying interfacing with PCs. This driver can be seamlessly integrated into rack mount setups using an available kit, further expanding its versatility. Operating autonomously, the 5600's character display offers comprehensive insights into the system's current status, consisting of distinct elements like controls, editable data fields, non-editable data, and static fields. This driver's comprehensive feature set includes closed-case calibration, flexible setup through the Save/Recall front panel functions, detector feedback control mode, internal modulation source, external modulation input, QCW mode, fault detection, and current/voltage limiting. Notably, proper air circulation mandates 2 to 4 inches of clearance in the rear panel area

Distinguished by its long-proven laser diode protection mechanisms, the 5600 incorporates input power module filters, supplemented by supplementary filtering and power regulation stages. These features are complemented by high-speed transient detection circuits, collectively guarding against transients effectively. The driver integrates independent current limits, multiple output shorting circuits, and a gradual turn-on sequence to enhance the safety of laser diode instrumentation. The 5600 showcases a character LCD display that not only facilitates system control but also enhances data presentation. The output can be managed by setting desired points through a control dial or cursor keys, while MENU keys enable easy access to recurrent procedures and stored system configurations. The controls are intuitively labeled, ensuring straightforward operations. Operable at nominal line voltages of 240, 220, 120, or 100 VAC, this driver boasts extendable front legs that provide stability and ease of viewing on the LCD display.
