AVX-S bias insertion units (or "output modules") provide a simple but effective way of connecting a laser diode to a pulse generator and a DC bias. The user-supplied laser diode is inserted into a specially-designed high-speed socket included on one side of the AVX-S unit. The socket is optimized to provide minimal rise time degradation. The AVX-S bias insertion unit includes the necessary networks to match the laser diode to the pulse source (typically an ultra-fast Avtech pulse generator). Contact Avtech for recommended pulse generator / output module combinations. See also the Avtech AVO-9 series of laser diode drivers - each AVO-9 laser diode driver includes a matched AVX-S output module. Avtech can accommodate common laser diode packages from Lumics, Qphotonics, Fitel, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Bookham, Ulm Photonics, Nichia, and others. Model AVX-S3D is designed for use with Model AVO-5B-C and will provide up to 48 Amperes of diode current. All AVX-S3 units include two-foot-long input cables with SMA male connectors.
