Where to Buy Eye-safe Lasers

MegaWatt Lasers's ER902 is a passively Q-switched erbium glass laser that operates at 1.54 μm. This eye-safe wavelength is ideal for defense, LIBS, and LIDAR applications. The design allows for 10 Hz repetition rates with a 4 ns pulse width and a 200 μJ pulse energy. All in a 9 mm diameter by 20 mm length package.

Lumibird manufactures a large range of eye-safe lasers in the range of 1.5 µm, through different technologies. We obtain these wavelengths with DPPS OPOs, erbium-doped fiber lasers and diode lasers.

Compact, high-repetition rate eye-safe OEM microchip lasers for LIDAR and range-finding applications. Nanosecond pulse duration, µJ pulse energy with repetition rate up to 200 kHz at 1535 nm. The smallest form-factor for high repetition rate microchip laser platform.

Optogama offers various types of lasers: eye-safe 1,54 μm diode-pumped passively Q-switched and CW erbium glass lasers as well as passively Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers.

Eye-safe 1,54 μm wavelength nanosecond lasers of the “KAUKAS“ (1, 2, 3) series have a unique compact design and are available in OEM models for dedicated applications. These lasers delivers up to 3 mJ energy per pulse with pulse duration <10–15 ns, TEM₀₀ beam profile and repetition rate of up to 5 Hz.

„KAUKAS HR“ laser models have an adjustable repetition rate and deliver more than 30 µJ energy per pulse with a repetition rate of up to 1 kHz available on request.

“KAUKAS CW” diode-pumped, solid-state laser models deliver up to 400 mW of continuous-wave power at 6 wavelength in the 1,5–1.6 μm spectral range.

RPMC Lasers offers a large selection of "eye-safe" or "retina-safe" lasers above ≈1.4 µm in the SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR wavelength ranges. These "eye-safe" offerings include both CW and pulsed diode lasers, superluminescent laser diodes (SLEDs), quantum cascade laser diodes (QCLs), DPSS lasers, and fiber lasers. Our pulsed lasers are available with either active or passive Q-switching, and our continuous-wave (CW) lasers are available in both single- and multi-longitudinal mode options. Let RPMC help you find the right laser today!

SHIPS TODAY: AeroDIODE offers several fiber-coupled laser diodes modules in the eye-safe wavelength range like 1480 nm or 1550 nm diodes. Most eye-safe laser diode are offered as stock items or associated with a CW or pulsed laser diode driver. They are compatible with our high speed nanosecond pulsed drivers or high power CW drivers (with air cooling) for the multimode high power laser diode versions. The single mode laser diodes (either Fabry–Pérot or DFB laser diode) can reach high power in nanosecond pulse regime up to 400 mW. Most turn-key diode & driver solutions are optimized for single-shot to CW performances with pulse width lengths down to 1 ns. The laser diode precision pulses are generated internally by an on-board pulse generator, or on demand from an external TTL signal. Many multimode versions are available with CW emission up to 450 W in a 200-µm core multimode fiber or up to 250 W in a 135-µm core fiber or 160 W in a 105 µm core fiber.
