Picosecond Lasers
ALS Picosecond Laser Diode Systems
The PiLas Systems are diode lasers that emit very short optical pulses with pulse widths down to 20 ps (FWHM). Standard systems consist of a digital electrical pulse generator EIG and an optical head with a laser diode and collimating optics (paralleling optics, single mode fiber output or multimode fiber output versions are also available). The laser diodes of the various models are pre-configured to emit on a fixed wavelength within a spectral range between 375nm and 1670nm, based on all commercial available diode wavelengths. Typical peak powers are in the range of 25mW to more than 1000mW, depending on the laser diode used. The jitter between electrical trigger and optical pulse is about 4ps. Special wavelengths or specifications are available on request.
Wavelengths available – 375nm, 405nm, 440nm, 473nm,
635nm, 670nm, 780nm, 830nm, 850nm, 905nm, 1060nm,
1300nm and 1550nm
Applications include:
- Time correlated single photon counting
- Fluorescence lifetime imaging
- Seed laser for amplifiers
PiLas S series 20-60ps, 1MHz
PiLas F series 20-60ps 100MHz
One Five Picosecond Lasers
One Five is the parent company of ALS. These picosecond lasers are amplified versions of the ALS picosecond Diode laser systems described above. The pulse energies are much higher and therefore can be converted into the green (515nm, 532nm) and the UV (266nm, 355nm). They still offer the unique feature of pulse on demand and variable pulse repetition rate as well as short optical pulses 30ps - 1ns.
