Product catalog summary
Overview
The HPL series of high repetition rate/high power picosecond pulsed diode lasers are designed for Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) measurements, offering repetition rates up to 80 MHz. These lasers are ideal for measuring short fluorescence lifetimes with pulse widths of less than 150 ps in standard mode. For experiments requiring higher excitation energy, a high-power mode is available, providing average powers of a few mW while maintaining sub-nanosecond pulse widths.
Key Features
  • Repetition rates from 1 kHz to 80 MHz
  • Standard and high-power operation modes
  • External trigger capability
  • Spectrally purified output
  • Compact plug-and-play design
  • Extremely low RF radiation
  • Optimized collimated beam
  • Embedded drive electronics
Specifications
  • Class 3B laser product with safety regulations compliance
  • Nominal wavelengths range from 405 nm to 800 nm
  • Linewidth varies by model, ranging from 2.0 nm to 7.0 nm
  • Maximum repetition rate of 80 MHz across all models

HPL SERIES High Repetition Rate / High Power Picosecond Pulsed Diode Lasers The HPL high repetition rate / high power picosecond pulsed diode lasers are a series of pulsed sources designed for Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) measurements with repetition rates up to 80 MHz. KEY FEATURES Repetition rates from 1 kHz up to 80 MHz Standard and high-power operation mode External trigger capability Spectrally purified output When operating in standard pulse mode, HPL lasers provide pulses of <150 ps making them the ideal source for measuring short fluorescence lifetimes. For experiments that require higher excitation energy, the high-power operation mode may be enabled. This mode offers average powers of a few mW whilst maintaining sub-nanosecond pulse widths. HPL lasers are designed with Edinburgh Instruments spectrometers in mind and are directly mounted onto their standard laser couplings, but they are fully independent and do not need an external controller. This, together with their external trigger capability, makes them easily integrated into any experiment. Compact plug-and-play design Extremely low RF radiation Optimised collimated beam Embedded drive electronics
