17 Jul 2024 Hamamatsu Photonics' Pulsed Laser Diodes (PLDs) are key in the evolving landscape of industrial automation. These compact powerhouses are changing how we approach distance measurement, autonomous navigation, and security monitoring, serving as the heartbeat of the next-generation LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) applications.
PLDs deliver high peak power in extremely short pulses - less than 10 nanoseconds - making them ideal for creating high-resolution, accurate 3D mappings and efficient obstacle detection systems. With operating frequencies surpassing hundreds of kilohertz, PLDs ensure rapid data acquisition, enabling real-time processing critical for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic vision systems, and safety hazard monitoring.
