Description
LASER COMPONENTS Canada has developed a hybrid pulsed laser diode with the currently shortest pulse duration in the world. In one second, the QuickSwitch PLD generates up to 200,000 laser pulses with a typical duration of 2.5 ns. Depending on the operating voltage, it achieves an optical peak power of up to 89 watts.
A high current switch, charge storage capacitor, and pulsed laser diode are all embedded in a small hermetic package which provides EMI shielding when the switch is active.
The high peak power laser with short pulse width and high frequency enables more precise distance measurement in LiDAR and other time-of-flight applications. With high kHz pulse frequencies, the device is also ideal for scanning.
