The PCX-7500-EX guarantees precision pulse control. This high power current source is air-cooled and formulated to drive laser diodes, bars, and arrays. Set the output current from 10 A to 450 A with variable compliance voltage. The pulse width is adjustable between 4 µs to 5,000 µs, with a frequency of 8 Hz to 10,000 Hz.

Ease of setup and operation of the PCX-7500-EX is achieved with intuitive front panel controls. The color QVGA LCD provides immediate visual confirmation of all operating parameters, including pulsed current set points, internal pulse width, internal trigger frequency, and error/fault messages.

RS-232, USB and Ethernet computer interfaces enable complete control of the instrument for automated applications. Store up to four system configurations in the internal non-volatile memory for immediate recall of configurations that are most often used.

A low impedance strip line cable connects the laser diode to the PCX-7500-EX which serves to preserve the fidelity of high-speed current pulses. The PCX-7500-EX will be disabled when the connector is removed, thanks to the interlocked output connector.

Externally trigger the PCX-7500-EX with conveniently located front panel BNC connectors for specialized interconnected equipment applications. Select the input impedance trigger to either 50Ω or 10,000Ω. The synchronization output pulse is synchronized to the leading edge of the output current pulse and is active with internal or external trigger.
