Frequently Asked Questions

The LDD-series laser diode driver is intended for driving single laser diodes or laser diode arrays, either by pulses or in continuous mode. It can also be used in medical applications.

Before operating the LDD-series laser diode driver, you should read the user manual carefully as the equipment may be dangerous. Additionally, ensure that the module is grounded using the M5 stud before connecting it to the mains.

No, external cooling is not required for the LDD-series laser diode driver as it contains a fan (or fans) for active cooling.

To enable the LDD-series laser diode driver, apply +5V TTL to the 'Enable' pin on the 15 Pin 'D'-Sub Female interface. The module is disabled if 0V is applied or the pin is unconnected.

If a fault occurs, the module will automatically stop operations and set a Fault status. To resolve this, eliminate the fault cause, then disable the module and enable it again.

The output should be measured with an adequate load such as diodes. Connecting a resistive load won't destroy the driver but will severely distort its behavior.

The output voltage can be monitored using the 'V OUT monitor' pin on the 15 Pin 'D'-Sub Female interface. The voltage at this pin is proportional to the measured value of voltage on the load.
