Northrop Grumman - Defining The Future

The eDrive™ is a next generation diode laser system controller.  Designed to interface with an external power supply, it manages all critical DPSS laser parameters including diode drive current, Q-switch, and system interlocks.  It can be configured for driving diodes in either CW or QCW operating mode.

The eDrive™ is equipped with multiple control options.  An easy to use local front panel interface along with a host of digital remote control options (including compatibility with Labview*) are offered as standard.

The eDrive™ has been designed to maximize reliability.  All system components are conservatively rated.  High power circuits are physically separated from low power circuits.  Minimal internal interconnect wiring reduces the risk of failure.
