1. Warnings
Warning – Voltage Compliance Requirement
Warning – Output Floating
Each HPP is custom configured to deliver current pulses into a diode array requiring a predefined compliance voltage. See the Serial Number label of the unit for the compliance voltage rating. The HPP takes DC input voltage and will not operate properly when the input is great than 10V higher than the load compliance voltage and will not start when the input is 20V lower that the rating on the S/N label or lower than 20V. Consult factory more wider operating window.
The output of the HPP is floating and therefore, neither side of the laser diode is allowed to be connected to the same ground as signal ground (Program, Monitor).
WARNING: Only Lumina Power, Inc. qualified service personnel are allowed to
remove the covers and service this equipment.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE POWER SUPPLY:
1. Without providing adequate protection of personnel from high voltage.
2. Without proper ground connections.
3. Without covers and panels properly installed.
4. Without a suitable load for the application and properly rated for the
required power dissipation.

Lumina Power’s HPP power supplies are designed for pulsing diode lasers in Quasi-CW applications. Before operating this unit, it is important to understand the operation. A block diagram of the power supply is shown below.
Figure 1, HPP Block Diagram
Referring to Figure 1, it’s easiest to think of the basic elements of the system as a high power linear regulator. The four main components are:
A storage capacitor which holds the energy for a high power pulse.
A high power linear regulator which is controlled by an error signal.
• A high current sensing circuit.
Control system.
The DC input voltage source must be voltage programmable and have current limit but not fold-back. It must be able to deliver constant current into a big capacitor which is a short at start up and the voltage will be discharged to a low level at the end of every pulse. Set the output voltage at 2 to 5V higher that the load compliance voltage for optimal efficiency.
Even though the HPP output current has better than 15us rise/fall time, the compliance voltage is only a few volts higher than the load voltage and the LDD-xx-yy-HP will perform this requirement automatically.
The high power linear regulator is typically a bank of high power MOSFETS mounted on an appropriate heat sink with over-temp protection.
The control system provides the interface to the supply and provides various protection circuits for the laser diode.

4. DC power supply for HPP
The HPP can be driven by any DC power source without current foldback. When the HPP in on, it will draw high current from the DC source which should send
continuous limited current to the HPP and should not fold back because the HPP needs certain input voltage to operate.
It is recommended to use a LDD-3000 or LDD-6000 with a HP option to drive the HPP. The LDD-3000/6000-xx-yy-HP is configured to run with the HPP. Output voltage can be
set to match the laser load and output current can be set to meet the max average load current.
Besides, the LDD-3000/6000-xx-yy-HP interfaces with the HPP to regulate the output voltage to perfectly match the load voltage for the highest efficiency and least heat dissipation inside the HPP.
For lower average power a LDN-2000 series power supply can be used with the VP option. This power supply does not have the HP feedback to automatically adjust the output voltage to the HPP demand. However, this version has a voltage adjust control input on pin 2 of the control interface to allow the user to match the LDN output voltage to the HPP load requirements.

5. Supply Interface Connections
*
The programming, monitoring and control functions of the HPP Interface are shown below. Refer to Figure 6 below for a simple laser setup.
Due to high switching current at high frequency and the capacitive coupling from the laser diodes to heatsinks , a ground loop is usually hard to avoid and interferes with the pulse current. An isolator board has been designed to use in series with the interface cable of the HPP to break the ground loop.
Please refer to document 33001346, HPP-LDD Interconnection Instructions.
* Note, the voltage control feedback is only available when using a LDD-3000/6000 with
the HP option.

6. LDD/HPP integrat ion and theory of ope r a t ion
The HPP was designed to work with Lumina Power’s LDD power supplies with the HP option, which is the output voltage programmable feature.
The complete system includes:
1 LDD-pp-xx-yy-HP where pp is max power, xx is max current, yy is max output
voltage and HP designates output voltage program feature.
2 HPP-pp-xx-yy-zz. pp is maximum average power, xx is maximum output current,
yy is maximum load voltage, zz is maximum pulse width up to CW.
3 HPP Isolator PCB. Due to possible ground loops at high pulsing current and
frequency, the isolator PCB will be inserted between the HPP and the customers’ control system to break the ground loop.
Isolator PCB theory of operation:
The Isolator has 2 elect ri call y isolat ed secti ons: one is connected to the H PP and another is connected to the customer’s control system.
The HPP supplies 15V to operate the isolator pc board. Th e customer’s control system must supply 15V to run the section that is connected to the customer’s controller per HP P pin out assignment.
The Isolator carries all control signals through linear optocouplers for analog signals and logic optocouplers for logic signals. The pin outs of the isolator PCB is 1-to-1 as an extension of the control cable with a male connector for the customer’s c ontroller and a female connector for the HPP.
HPP theory of operation.
The HPP is a High Power Pulser. It is a linear current regulator with fast rise and fall time. The input voltage of the HPP must be higher than its output voltage. The ratio of Vout/Vin is roughly its efficiency.
The HPP is the most efficient pulser on the market given the rise time and fall time better than 15µs. In pulse mode, it communicates with the LDD power supply to adjust the LDD output voltage which is the HPP input voltage to match the load voltage. The average input voltage for a given load varies due to pulse current, pulse width but is regulated such that at the end of the pulse, there will be about 1V across the “linear regulator”. The average input voltage is higher than the load voltage because the voltage on the internal capacitors will have some droop during the pulse.
The HPP utilizes a proprietary scheme to have fast rise time even though the input voltage is a few volts higher than the output voltage and this gives the HPP the highest efficiency for a linear regulator and the inductance of the output cable seems to have disappeared.
This feature also allows the voltage tracking when the laser diodes get hot and reduce their forward voltage drop, Vf.
02001346 Rev 1
HPP-1000/6000 User Manual
Page 10 of 19
The HPP communicates with the LDD to decrease the output voltage up to 25% of the programmed voltage in order to have good efficiency. The requirement is that the LDD output voltage must be programmed to be higher than the expected load voltage but not too high that the HPP cannot pull it down to have 1V at the end of the pulse. The HPP has a “load-Match” det ector circuit and will sh ut down i f the differ ence betw een Vin and Vout is too high (more than 10V at more than 51% rated output current). To allow the best Vout program, the HPP will defeat this protection feature when the output current is programmed less than 50%.
For proper voltage programming, we can set and record the input voltage as follows: Program the output voltage to about 20% higher than the expected load voltage. Run pulses with lower than 50% max pulse current. The input voltage will be reduced automatically. Monitor the output current to make sure the pulse shape is correct. Reduce the input voltage further by reducing the V-program signal on the LDD until the output current fails to regulate at the end of the pulse. This is the minimum input voltage required for this particular load. Now we can stop the pulser and program the LDD output voltage about 20% higher than this minimum voltage. Make sure the HPP is OFF (disabled) at this time.
If the voltage is so high that the HPP cannot pull it down to have 1V at the end of the pulse, the system will be inefficient and will result in over heat and thermally shut down.
If the voltage is too high, the HPP will shut off by the “load-match” detector when the output current is higher than 50%.
The HPP has an optional programmable simmer up to 10Amp. The simmer current is ON when the pulse current is OFF and OFF when the pulse current is ON.
CW/Pulse mode selection: (Optional)
In some applications where the system can switch from pulse to CW, the signal CW/Pulse can be used.
When in Pulse mode, the HPP is working as a linear regulator and puts out the pulsed current requested at the I-program signal. This operation will require some voltage across the linear regulator and that translate into power loss.
When in CW mode, the transistors in the linear regulator are saturated and the onl y loss will be the Rds-on of the FET bank against the output current. The HPP is now acting as a wire with the impedance of the Rds-on and the current should be controlled by the LDD.
It is advisable that the HPP must be disabled, LDD output voltage should be programed to lower than the load voltage and current should be programmed to minimum when switching from pulse to CW mode.
If the output voltage is higher than the load voltage, there will be current spikes to the load and may damage the load.
Another option is to run the HPP at 100% duty cycle. In this case, we can turn the HPP current program to 105% and control the output current by the LDD.

7. LDD with HP opti on
In a standard LDD, the output voltage is set to be 105% of the required load voltage and it is just the compliant voltage, determined by the load.
The LDD is the Laser Diode Drive and the HP option designates the additional feature of programming the output voltage. The LDD-HP is set to normally have 5V higher than the companion HPP.
Additionally, the LDD-HP has a pair of twisted wires to communicate with the HPP. This pair of wires is working in conjunction with the V-Program signal to determine the output voltage. This pair can only lower the output voltage by 20 – 25%. At the end of the pulse, the HPP compares the cap bank voltage against the load voltage and tells the LDD to adjust the voltage so that it has about 1V difference. The communication is active only when the HPP is running (pulsing). If the HPP is in standby, the output voltage will rise to the level set by the V-Program signal.
When running with the HPP, set the LDD output current about 5% more than the max average HPP current. For example: HPP-2000-200-50-500. That is 2000 Watts, 200 Amp, 50V, 500us max pulse width.
Calculation: Pulse power: 200A * 50V = 10,000 Watts. Pulse energy: 500uS of 10000 Watts is 5 Joules. Max frequency: 2000 Watts/5 Joules = 400 Hz. Duty Cycle: 500us/400Hz = 20%.
Setting on LDD: Vout ~55V
I-out = 105% * P/Vload = 1.05 * (2000/50) = 42 Amp.
The LDD interface is listed below for reference.

Unit Faults
The unit is designed to monitor various faults such as:
Temp Fault: (Output, TTL, Pin 4) When the temperature of the internal heat sink
has exceeded a safe operating level, the system is shut off and this fault is transmitted. Fault output is TTL high. Fault can be cleared by setting the Enable, pin 14, to TTL low and then high.
Poor load match: (Output, TTL, Pin 7) When the voltage compliance of the diode
laser load is 8V lower than the DC input voltage. This fault may be cleared via the
Enable signal.
