‘Only’ laser diode driver is aimed at control of pulsed laser diodes and low-to-middle power DPSS lasers with cooling of the laser diode based on air or water flow instead of termo-electric Peltier elements. The output power is sufficient to drive single emitter laser diodes, delivering up to 25 W of optical power.
Only LDD is the medium power CW or pulsed mode laser diode driver. Microprocessor based unit incorporates on-board LCD user interface and USB 2.0 interface for convenient and versatile control of the diode or DPSS laser. Easy to setup requirements allow easy integration of the laser diode driver in various applications, including medical workstations, industrial laser diode based systems and portable laser applications. also include current measurement output for user or software feedback.

Only LDD laser diode driver is perfectly suited for direct laser diode applications:
- medical laser stations,
- material processing;
- high energy but low average power DPSS lasers.
The most straightforward application is medical laser for dental treatment – that’s what for the laser diode driver was designed as all-in-one solution.
