EPL Picosecond Pulsed Diode Laser

Product catalog summary
Overview: The EPL Series Picosecond Pulsed Diode Lasers are designed as high-performance, cost-effective excitation sources for fluorescence lifetime measurements, particularly in Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC). They serve as a bridge between nanosecond flashlamps and expensive mode-locked Titanium Sapphire femtosecond lasers.
Key Features:
  • Optimized for TCSPC with a typical pulse width of less than 100 ps.
  • 10 pre-set repetition frequencies ranging from 20 KHz to 20 MHz.
  • External trigger capability and spectrally purified output.
  • Compact design with low RF radiation and optimized collimated beam.
  • Drive electronics included.
Technical Specifications:
  • Pulse repetition frequencies range from 1 MHz to 500 KHz.
  • Bias supply: 15 – 18V dc, 15W.
  • Cooling is actively controlled by an interference filter.
  • Physical dimensions: 168 mm length x 64 mm x 64 mm, collimator tube: ø30 mm x 38 mm.
  • Weight: 800 g.
  • Laser safety: EPL 375, 785, 800, and 980 are Class 3B lasers; others are Class 3R.
Performance Parameters:
  • Nominal wavelengths range from 375 nm to 980 nm.
  • Linewidths vary from <1.5 nm to <6.5 nm depending on the model.
  • Typical pulse widths at 10 MHz range from 65 ps to 350 ps.
  • Typical average power at 20 MHz ranges from 0.07 mW to 0.25 mW.
  • Typical peak power at 10 MHz ranges from 25 mW to 155 mW.
Safety and Compliance: The lasers comply with US federal laser product performance standards. Users are advised to avoid exposure to the beam as it may be harmful to the eyes and skin.

EPL Picosecond Pulsed Diode Laser-1

The EPL Series Picosecond Pulsed Diode Lasers The EPL picosecond pulsed diode lasers are a family of high performance, cost effective excitation sources for fluorescence lifetime measurements. In TimeCorrelated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) they bridge the gap between the nanosecond flashlamp and expensive mode locked Titanium Sapphire femtosecond lasers. The EPL lasers are pre-adjusted for an optimum pulse width, with particular attention paid to reducing a secondary shoulder. The output has a typical pulse width of less than 100 ps. The EPL lasers are robust, maintenance free, easy to operate and have proprietary beam conditioning optics. Photonics Division EPL Product Features: • Optimised for TCSPC • 0 Pre-set Repetition Frequencies 1 from 20 KHz to 20 MHz • External Trigger Capability • Spectrally Purified Output • Fully Integrated, Compact Design • Extremely Low RF Radiation • Optimised Collimated Beam • Drive Electro
