Low noise laser driver with external setpoint
Koheron DRV200S is an ultra-low noise current driver on which the current setpoint is controlled by an externally applied voltage. The DRV200S has variable current limit and compliance voltage. It also features a DC to 5 MHz modulation input with adjustable modulation gain.

Characterization
Current noise
The figure below shows the current noise of the DRV200S laser driver. The setpoint is produced by a VREF100 voltage source.
Setpoint frequency reponse
DC current modulation input
Modulation performance are characterized using a DFB laser operated at 80 mA. The gain high modulation (H) is measured at 200 mVpp and the gains medium (M) and low (L) are measured at 2 Vpp. Gains are normalized to the medium modulation gain at DC.
