Buying Laser Power Supplies
There are power supplies for diode-pumped lasers, providing high electrical currents at moderate voltages, and other power supplies for lamp-pumped lasers, providing high voltages with lower currents. These power supplies are crucial for the stable and reliable operation of various laser systems.

Aspects to Consider Before Buying
Some aspects to consider before buying laser power supplies: compatibility with laser systems, voltage and current capability, voltage and current control, output stability, durability, user interface, computer interface, safety features (e.g. interlock connection), protection features for laser diodes, environmental resistance (e.g. against voltage spikes on power network), cooling requirements, maintenance, operational lifespan.
For responsible purchase decisions, we recommend applying good practices.
