Where to Buy LIDAR Equipment

TOPTICA’s added value for LIDAR systems is in providing best cw seeding lasers and external references. With their extremely narrow linewidth, high frequency stability and unmatched wavelength availability, TOPTICA's scientific lasers are ideal seeders for the high power pulsed lasers employed for LIDAR. Fiber coupling with the ultrastable FiberDock allows for straight forward implementation of our lasers. We also offer the most accurate and most stable wavelength meters, Fabry–Perot interferometers (FPI 100) and spectroscopy cells or spectroscopy modules as well as electronic locking modules which are needed to stabilize a cw diode laser to an external reference.

RPMC Lasers offers a wide range of pulsed and CW lasers for LiDAR, bathymetry, and 3D scanning applications. This includes single-frequency CW fiber lasers at 1.5 microns, ideal for Doppler LIDAR, and short-pulsed Q-switched lasers for time-of-flight LIDAR and bathymetry.

Lumibird offering in lasers for LiDAR is large, thanks to its expertise in several key laser technologies: diodes for ADAS, diode-pumped or flashlamp-pumped pulsed Nd:YAG lasers for atmospheric LiDAR, pulsed fiber lasers in turnkey benchtops or in OEM modules for wind LiDAR, 3D scanning or ADAS. Lumibird lasers are designed for use in harsh environment and are easy to integrate into systems.
