Turn-key laser diode module with DFB or Bragg sources at any wavelengths
This laser diode module generates any pulsed or CW optical signal from an integrated semiconductor DFB or Bragg sources at various visible or infrared wavelengths. It is a low noise high peak power laser diode source with USB and control electronics for pulse width down to 1 ns.
This Turn-key laser diode module delivers precision pulses which are generated internally by an on-board pulse generator, or on demand from an external TTL signal. It is the most compact device with such performances. Choose your wavelength (808, 915, 940, 976, 1064, 1300, 1550 nm etc. ) on the datasheet table or contact us for other wavelength.
These products are now offered by AeroDIODE, 
a new ALPhANOV spin-off company. The product manager is available to answer any technical of commercial question.
