SDC-150 Diode Driver Overview The SDC-150 is an innovative series of "all-in-one" DPSS Nd:YAG controllers, meticulously designed to integrate multiple functionalities into a single compact unit. This advanced controller is engineered to include a pulsed current source for driving pump diodes, a TEC controller for precise thermal stabilization, and an embedded Pockels cell driver for generating Q-switched pulses.

With its input requirement of 28VDC (+/-7V), the SDC-150 is tailored to meet the demanding needs of modern laser systems. The SDC-150 stands out with its remarkably compact dimensions of 180x70x30mm, making it an ideal choice for applications where space is at a premium. Its robust design ensures reliable performance, delivering diode outputs of up to 250A in high current versions and up to 250V in high voltage versions.

This versatility allows for pulse durations of up to 300 microseconds and repetition rates of up to 20Hz, achieving peak powers in the range of 10-20kW and average maximum powers of 20-40W. In addition to its powerful diode driving capabilities, the SDC-150 features a TEC output capable of delivering up to 5A and 20V, with a maximum power output of 50W. This ensures optimal thermal management of the laser diodes, maintaining stability and performance. The Pockels cell driver, customizable to suit various cell types such as DKDP and LiNbO3, further enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the SDC-150 for diverse laser applications. The SDC-150 is equipped with a base interface of RS-232, with RS-485 available upon request, and comes with simple PC software for seamless integration and operation. Its stand-alone capabilities allow for immediate deployment and use, making it a versatile and efficient solution for laser control systems.
