Description
From 2 to 10 µJ – 3 ns, up to 500 kHz
That illuminator can generate pulses as short as 3 ns with energies from 2 to 10 µJ. It can support pulse repetition rates in the range 100-500 kHz, depending on output energy per pulse, with a maximum average power of 1 W.
That illuminator integrates a laser diode and a driver board whose combination allows generation of nanosecond pulses. Laser diode design and manufacturing benefit from the sound know-how of Quantel’s Diode Department in hard solder technology already developed for QCW laser diodes to ensure efficiency and reliability. With its proprietary technology for nanosecond pulsed laser diode illuminators, Quantel offers unique laser sources that are compact, low-cost and highly efficient. While high output average power (typically higher than 2 W) will require a suitable cooling system, low output average powers make these laser diode sources ideal for integration into confined volumes. Typical applications are 3D flash LIDAR, scanning LIDAR or time of flight measurements.
