The C300 is an ultra-short pulsed laser/LED driver that can generate pulses from 100ps to 200ns with a repetition rate of up to 3MHz.
Peak currents of 500mA (5V compliance) or 300mA (10V) compliance can be achieved. This device can be configured and controlled via SCPI over USB or RS485.
This driver can be customized with a variety of compatible lasers/LEDs with optimization for their performance.
Over-current and over-temperature protection are provided to prevent damage to the laser/LED.
This driver can be LVTTL externally triggered and two options are available for the synchronized output pulse, LVTTL over SMA or LVDS via the multi-purpose connector.
A configurable delay is available for the synchronized output pulse from 0 to 1us in 100ns steps.
