The Newport 8515D is a dual-channel laser diode driver delivering independent current and voltage regulation for two separate laser diodes in research and development environments. Each channel operates from 0–1500 mA with 0.1 mA display resolution, supported by adjustable current limiting and temperature monitoring to ensure safe, stable laser operation. The integrated photodiode input accepts monitoring signals up to 5 mA, enabling real-time feedback on laser performance.
