12 Aug 2009 The tested and proven technology of the 905 nm PLDs was used in the new 1550 nm pulsed laser diodes manufactured by LASER COMPONENTS Canada. Their laser diode chips contain several epitaxially integrated emitters, making these PLDs ideally suited for rangefindig applications and the perfect match for our InGaAs APDs.
The main advantages are for one, systems into which this PLD has been integrated still fall under laser safety class 1. And two, the wavelength is not visible with standard night vision equipment.
The wide operating temperature range from -45°C to +85°C and the excellent temperature stability guarantee a wide measuring range also in warmer regions. To exhaust all technical advantages of PLD chips, they are integrated into a hermetically sealed TO housing. This ensures a high degree of reliability, the ability to overdrive, and a very precise chip position in the housing. |
