Detector testing and characterization
A nanosecond electrical pulse energizes a laser diode, producing a short pulse of light. Triggering is accomplished via a fast-switching MOSFET, which discharges an LRC network with a nanosecond time constant. Pulse width and pulse energy can be modified by customizing the properties of this network per specific customer requirements.
The unit runs from a single, included +24 V DC power supply. The high voltage that drives the diode is generated on board by an efficient, low-ripple DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter provides sufficient current to provide a pulse rate of 100 kHz.

High Power Nanosecond Pulses
Laser pulses measured with a fast InGaAs photodiode and a Tektronix scope. The measured width of the default shipped configuration (green line) is 2.6 ns, and the measured rise time is 0.7 ns. The traces are labeled with the delivered energy per pulse (post collection lens).
From Single Pulses to 100 kHz Rep Rates
Energy per pulse as a function of triggered pulse rate. The default unit ships with a nominal pulse energy of 100 nJ (green triangles) and can be operated at trigger rates from single pulses to 100 kHz. The blue circle and red cross alternative configurations are available upon request at no additional cost.
