PWRPAK Power Supplies for Laser Drivers & TEC Drivers

Product information "PWRPAK Power Supplies for Laser Drivers & TEC Drivers"

AC/DC Power Supplies for Laser Drivers & TEC Drivers; Input Voltage 90 (100) to 240 (264) VAC; Output Voltage 5 to 24 VDC; 18 to 132 W; Termination 2.1, 2.5 mm Ø, Open-ended

One of the most important components affecting noise performance is the power supply used to power the laser driver. A linear supply will offer lower noise, but a much larger size and lower efficiency.

For their laser diode, QCL laser and TEC driver series, Wavelength Electronics offers the PWRPAK series of low noise switched power supplies with voltages ranging from 5 to 24 V and currents ranging from 2 to 13 A. These power supplies operate off 90 to 264 VAC or 100 to 240 VAC with 47 to 63 Hz:

 

  • PWRPAK-24V drives up to 2 A at 24 VDC. It has been tested with Wavelength Electronics’ QCL OEM and QCL OEM(+) series of low noise quantum cascade laser drivers. A wiring kit is available to simplify setup.
  • PWRPAK-16A-5V drives up to 16 A at 5V with 80% efficiency. This low noise switched power supply for the LD15CHA and LD10CHA series of laser diode drivers offers enough current and voltage to operate the LD15CHA series in single supply operation. It has a 5 V output to power the control electronics and provide up to 3 V to the laser. The 16 A current output covers the entire current range of LDxCHA series’ models. An additional wiring kit makes connections easy.


PWRPAK power supplies with 5 to 12 V output can be used with:


PWRPAK-24V can be used with all QCL OEM and QCL OEM(+) series of quantum cascade laser drivers.
