Description

An ultra-compact 1029 nm nanosecond laser is a high peak power passive Q-Switch transmitter for OEM LiDAR and range finding applications. The short pulse duration of down to fewer than 1.3 ns allows high spatial resolution, the high peak power of >70 kW allows large distances to be measured.
Apart from LiDAR, this laser is also usable in portable or even wearable Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzers, portable and wearable LiDAR systems, and micro-scale material processing.
Please note, that this product is laser-head-only for OEM. Driver electronics and pulse generator come separately within µFlash Integrator's kit (contact Integrated Optics support for more info) or can be implemented by end-user.

1 Peak power limitations apply. Max. peak power currently is 115 kW for unpolarized radiation. Polarized radiation is available on request. Higher pulse energy versions might be developed based on NRE contracts.

2 The laser is not collimated internally.

3 A demo electronics board is provided with the first order of 5 pcs.

4 Only laser head.

5 e.g. 1W @20Hz pulse repetition rate in single-pulse triggering mode.

6 Warranty is not applicable to faults of the pump laser diode - a component which is sensitive to electronics circuitry design and operational regimes. Please consult with Integrated Optics regarding most appropriate driving circuit design, duty cycles, etc.

Pulse-to-pulse stability of a uFlash laser

The video below shows superior pulse-to-pulse stability of a uFlash laser, operated at 50 Hz repetition rate, 120uJ pulse energy. The measurement was carried out using two different oscilloscopes and a fast 500 MHz bandwidth photodetector. The pulse duration of the laser was about 0.9 ns.
