Flashlamp driver PS5053 is designed for flashlamp-pumped lasers and presents a two-channel device consisting of two capacitor charging, simmer/trigger and pulse forming modules and control circuit. It is suitable to be used in oscillatoramplifier laser systems.
This model is an updated version of flashlamp driver PS5012. PS5053 features microprocessor control and back illuminated LCD display where all output parameters of power supply are conveniently displayed. Driver can be remotely controlled through RS-232 and CAN (Controller Area Network) interface.
