Output Stripline Cable
Precision Pulse Control
The PCX-7500 is an air-cooled, high-power current
source designed to drive laser diodes, bars, and
arrays. The output current can be set from 10 A to
450 A. The compliance voltage is dependent on the
model of system. The pulse width is adjustable
between 4 µs to 5,000 µs. The pulse repetition rate is
8 Hz to 10,000 Hz.
Ease of Setup and Operation
The PCX-7500 may be operated through its intuitive
front panel controls. The color QVGA LCD provides
immediate visual confirmation of all operating
parameters, including pulsed current set points,
internal trigger pulse width, internal trigger frequency,
and error/fault messages.

Complete System Integration
450 A, 73 V compliance, 8 Hz, 96 µs pulsewidth
For automated applications, complete control of the
instrument is provided through RS-232, USB and
Ethernet computer interfaces. Up to four system
configurations may be stored in internal non-volatile
memory, providing instant recall of frequently-used
configurations.
Low Inductance Output Cable
The laser diode is connected to the PCX-7500
through a low-impedance stripline cable designed to
preserve the fidelity of high-speed current pulses. The
output connector is interlocked so that the PCX-7500
is disabled when the connector is removed.
Internal or External Triggering
Conveniently located front panel BNC connectors
allow the PCX-7500 to be externally triggered and
synchronized
for
specialized
interconnected
equipment applications. The input impedance of the
trigger is selectable to either 50 Ω or 10,000 Ω. The
synchronization output pulse is synchronized to the
leading edge of the output current pulse and is active
with internal or external trigger.
