This technical note will focus on the LDC-3736 Quantum Cascade Laser Controller, which is designed to safely drive Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) with up to 4 Amps of current and a compliance voltage of 18 Volts. QCLs are sensitive to rapid spikes in laser current level, also known as transients. QCLs are also sensitive to electrostatic discharge and excessively high laser current levels. While all subsequent protection features and test results will apply to the LDC-3726 and LDC-37620 model of controllers as well, the LDC-3736 was selected as the case study model for its QCL application.
