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.
Flash LiDAR
Flash LiDAR is an advanced remote sensing technology that utilizes laser pulses in a rapid, sweeping fashion to create high-resolution 3D maps of the surroundings. Unlike traditional Lidar systems that rely on scanning mechanisms, Flash Lidar captures the entire scene simultaneously, providing real-time and comprehensive spatial information. This innovative approach enhances the speed and efficiency of mapping, making Flash Lidar well-suited for applications in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and environmental monitoring.
Photoacoustic imaging
Photoacoustic imaging is a process where powerful laser pulses interact with material by exciting acoustic waves. Similarly, as in ultrasound imaging, the propagating acoustic waves are analyzed by piezo-based detectors (pick-ups), and the complete 3D image is formed by raster scanning or other techniques, such as laser-based holography or interferometry.
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
LIBS stands for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and is a rapid chemical analysis technique, first introduced in 1960s. Unlike in Raman spectroscopy, it uses short laser pulses to create plasma plumes on the surface of a sample and the spectrum is characterized of this plasma using low-cost spectrometers. It is also categorized as an in situ operation, that’s duration can last up to only a few seconds.
