DeltaDiode: Pulsed Laser and LED Light Sources

The DeltaDiode from Horiba Scientific has the potential to convert key LEDs and laser sources with picosecond pulse and repetition rate that ranges up to 100 MHz

DeltaDiodes use laser diode and LED technology to produce short optical pulses over an extensive range of wavelengths and repetition rates. Optical pulses, as short as 50 ps, could be produced at repetition rates up to 100 MHz. The DeltaDiode is ideal for applications such as:

TCSPC excitation source

Fluorescence spectroscopy

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM)

Quantum cryptography

Detector response testing

Features
