Laser diode driver

> Model number: AVO-9A-B-P-P3-SLAA
>
> Description: Laser Diode Driver (Pulsed Voltage) with IEEE-488.2 GPIB
> and RS-232 Computer Control Ports
>
> Polarity: positive
>
> Amplitude: 0 - 140 mA (see footnote 3 on datasheet)
>
> Maximum output of mainframe into 50 Ohms: 10V
>
> Pulse width (FWHM): 2 - 50 ns
>
> Maximum PRF: 50 kHz
>
> -P3-SLAA option: Provides an 8-pin socket for the QFLD-840-2SM. The
> positive output pulse is applied to pin 2 of the diode. All other pins
> are grounded. Rseries in the output module is approximately 42 Ohms,
> such that Rseries + Rdiode = 50 Ohms, approximately.
>
> Other: as per the standard AVO-9A-B-P, described at
> http://www.avtechpulse.com/laser/avo-9a
