Buying Picosecond Diode Lasers
With suitable driver electronics, laser diodes can be gain-switched to produce picosecond light pulses. These lasers serve as flexible seed sources for picosecond pulse amplifier systems.
Making Good Purchase Decisions
As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

![]() Lasers, Optics, Electronics. Made in Germany. ALPHALAS GmbHBertha-von-Suttner-Str. 5 37085 Göttingen Germany | ![]() Picosecond diode lasers from ALPHALAS with pulses < 12 ps and peak power > 2 W at specific wavelengths offer a cost-effective alternative to the mode-locked DPSS lasers. Exchangeable laser heads with wavelengths from 375 to 1550 nm offer great flexibility. Simultaneous multichannel operation at numerous wavelengths is also available. External TTL trigger capability and synchronized TTL output are standard features. Picosecond pulses are generated with repetition rates from single shot to 100 MHz with a frequency step of 1 Hz. Options like fiber coupling, variable amplitude, CW mode, temperature tuning of the wavelength and single-frequency are available on request for most wavelengths. All models feature single transverse mode laser beam. Applications include fluorescence lifetime measurements, pump–probe experiments, laser seeding, time-correlated single photon counting and more.
