Pulsed laser 30 and 50 watts

The Biophysica lasers are Picopulse 1 watt and Nanopulse 50 watt

Picopulse Systems are diode lasers emitting very short optical pulses with ultra-short pulse widths down to 12 picoseconds (0.012 nanoseconds), depending on the laser diode used. The standard system consists of a digital electrical pulse generator EIG and an optical head with a laser diode and a 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 375 nm and 1670 nm, i.e. from ultraviolet to infrared, based on all commercial available diode wavelengths. Typical peak powers are in the range of 25 mW to more than 1000 mW, depending on the laser diode used. The jitter between electrical trigger and optical pulse is about 4 ps. Special wavelengths or specifications are – if technically possible – available on request.

Drivers have 1 MHz or 100 MHz repetition rate

Wavelengths available – 375nm, 405nm, 440nm, 473nm, 635nm, 670nm, 780nm, 830nm, 850nm, 905nm, 1060nm,
1300nm and 1550 nm

Applications include:

o Time correlated single photon counting
o Fluorescence lifetime imaging
o Seed laser for amplifiers

Nanopulse Systems are diode lasers emitting very short optical pulses with pulse widths down to 7 nanoseconds (7000 picoseconds): 

diode module  and heat sink 
The combined high power laser driver and Thermo Electric Cooler (TEC) controller  – a high performance driver for high power diode laser modules, optimized for the best performance in industrial applications and for the use in research and development laboratories. It delivers an output current up to 50 A and a voltage up to 3 or 6 V and is designed for cw and pulsed operation with a rise time of 100 µs. It already includes the thermo-electrical temperature controller for active temperature stabilization and regulation of the used diode laser module. 

The air forced high power laser diode heat sink, designed for heat loads up to 120, 80, 60 or 40 Watt (depending from the needed heat load for the used diode laser module). The heat sink includes the metal block, a temperature sensor, the Peltier cooling element (TEC) and a fan for the heat dissipation. 

The diode laser module. For most of the pigtailed modules a visible (red) pilot (aiming) diode laser can be included in the diode laser module.
