  • What is the maximum power of a pulsed laser diode

    What is the maximum power of a pulsed laser diode

    Laser Components offers inexpensive laser diodes, which generate short but intense light pulses of up to 650 W. Most laser diodes are designed to emit in continuous wave (cw) mode with powers from a few milliwatts to a few watts. Low Jitter internal and external triggering is available with the embedded pulse delay generator. Defined as the highest power level achieved during a single optical pulse, peak power is the critical parameter that determines whether a laser will gently warm a surface. The maximum peak pulse optical output powers vary from 13 mW to 1600 mW, depending on Item #, as specified in Table 1. The NPL64A laser system provides fixed-width pulses with 10 ns typical durations in response to a user-supplied trigger signal input to the SMA connector on the back panel. All ILC modules: 12 VDC, Free-Space, Pulsed, Elliptical beam, 25. Looking for something a little more custom? We completely understand.
