Capacitors for lasers

“We are very active particularly in the areas of laser power supply units and controllers”, explains R. Winkler, Head of Purchasing at Schumacher Elektromechanik GmbH. “The fact is that the various laser types require custom solutions.” The Schumacher product spectrum ranges from CW power supplies for. . The GW series are threaded FTCAP capacitors that are insensitive to high ripple currents. As a side effect, however, the high currents also cause increased temperatures in the capacitors. Special winding constructions. . R. Winkler is very satisfied with the GW series capacitors: “Like all Mersen components, they function with absolute reliability.” Another advantage for the head of purchasing is that the Mersen location based in the North of.

FAQS about Capacitors for lasers

Do power supply units for high-power laser diodes need special capacitors?

Power supply units for high-power laser diodes in research systems require special capacitors: They must ensure fast discharge of the energy that is needed for the generation of high-current pulses. Mersen delivers custom solutions that are successfully used in the power supply units of Schumacher Elektromechanik GmbH

What are ftcap's application-specific capacitors for laser power units?

This article discusses FTCAP's application-specific capacitors for laser power units and its features. Power supply units for high-power laser diodes in research systems require special capacitors: They must ensure fast discharge of the energy that is needed for the generation of high-current pulses.

Why do we need aluminium electrolytic capacitors?

The main demand is for aluminium electrolytic capacitors of the SIH and GW series. The latter are used for example in the power supply units for high-power laser diodes in research systems: Such systems require fast discharge of the energy for generation of highcurrent pulses of about 100-500µs.

What is the power supply for YAG & excimer lasers?

Energy sources tailored to the specific requirements of both laser and application ensure optimum laser performance. Capacitor-charging power supply for pulsed YAG and excimer lasers produces 2000-J/s output over voltage range of 1 to 40 kV. Power supplies are responsible for both the regular operation and the longevity of lasers.

What power supply does a CO2 laser use?

Waveguide CO 2 lasers may use radio-frequency (RF) oscillated DC power supplies. Innovative electronic devices such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors and switched-resistor regulators and the clever use of application-specific integrated circuits, serve to increase power-supply flexibility for diode, solid-state, and gas lasers.

What is a power supply for a diode laser?

Power supplies for diode lasers are often called drivers. Narrow-linewidth diode lasers need low-current-noise drivers. High-power diode arrays draw the highest current and voltage levels.
