The 1550UA Series PLDs offer high-precision at low-cost
The 1550UA series is a new addition to the existing line of high-quality and affordable high-volume Pulsed Laser Diodes (PLDs) from LASER COMPONENTS Canada. This is in addition to the 905UA series but now at a higher wavelength.
The 1550UA series offers a hermetically sealed metal housing featuring optimal thermal stability, excellent overdrive capabilities, and precise chip alignment. System integrators can take advantage of high-volume production without reducing the reliability of a system.
Mainly being used in Time-of-Flight (ToF), and Laser Range Finding (LRF) systems, the 1550nm solution will improve the transmission through rain, fog, snow, and other harsh weather for defence and aerospace, and automotive LiDAR applications. Additionally, the added benefit of using the higher wavelength of 1550nm improves eye safety compared to 905nm lasers.
For customers considering upgrading from commercial-grade PLDs to higher-resolution, the 1550UA series is a cost-effective solution. It is capable of operating at –45 to 85°C, to withstand the difficult conditions of various environments.
Available in a TO-56 package with multiple sources sizes, the 1550UA series can also be customised to meet the needs of each area of use.
