Sorensen SFA Series
5–150 kW
High Slew Rate Current Source
The SFA family builds on the industry leading
Sorensen SGA series to provide a high power
current source for laser diode applications. State
of the art high power laser diodes require wellregulated current control to avoid catastrophic
damage. Under anomalous operating conditions,
excessive stored energy in the output circuit of
the power supply can result in peak stresses that
can permanently damage the device. Providing a
constant current regulation mode only, the SFA’s
low stored energy output minimizes damage
potential for sensitive devices as well as enabling
a current slew rate of up to 400 A/msec.
