Edinburgh Instruments releases its first 310 nm, sub 800 ps picosecond pulsed LED

11 Nov 2014

Edinburgh Instruments, Livingston, UK, 11th November 2014. Edinburgh Instruments is pleased to announce the release of 310 nm picosecond pulsed LED with a sub-800 picosecond typical pulse width. This is first of many forthcoming new product releases to have such a low pulse width and is optimised for Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC).
 
The EPLED 310 is a compact, robust, maintenance free, fully integrated system supplied in a single package. It is pre-adjusted for an optimum pulse width of
 
EPLED diode lasers provide a cost-effective and reliable alternative to nanosecond flashlamps and expensive mode locked Titanium Sapphire femtosecond lasers.
 
Typical instrumentation in which the EPLED 310 may be used are fluorescence lifetime spectrometers and fluorescence lifetime multi-well plate readers for spectroscopy applications in biochemistry, biology, photophysics, semiconductor physics, bio-chemical assays etc. Customised versions of the pulsed LED can also be supplied for integration within various types of analytical instrumentation.
 
 
 
Formed in 1971, Edinburgh Instruments were formed as the first spin-out from Heriot-Watt University and the first private company on Britain's first University "Research Park”.
