Where to Buy Picosecond Diode Lasers

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.

With external trigger functionality, nano- to picosecond pulse duration, and a wide range of wavelengths, the KATANA & PILAS series are our most versatile offerings. Our PILAS range of gain-switched pulsed diode lasers offers triggerable pulses with durations down to 20 ps in a small footprint for both scientific and OEM applications. Available with output wavelengths from 375–1600 nm, the PILAS lasers are versatile and come with low timing jitter.
