Patrick Paul Dear Reader, Welcome to the 6th edition of our catalog “Pulsed Laser Diodes and Avalanche Photodiodes”. Much has happened since the original catalog was published: We have significantly expanded our production facilities and capabilities in recent years and the products contained in this edition have had a profound positive influence on LASER COMPONENTS’ success. We are pleased to present the ever-increasing range of products manufactured at our factories in Germany, Canada and the USA. LASER COMPONENTS is both manufacturer and distributor and understands the business from both...

In-House Manufacturing Pulsed laser diodes, avalanche photodiodes, CUBEs, COUNT® modules and much more: LASER COMPONENTS makes them n-house – in Germany, Canada and the USA. i The interplay between the three factories enables the production of systems based on the various components made by the LASER OMPONENTS group. Out of this synergy evolved the C s COUNT® modules and CUBE series, to name just two examples. We offer tandard products but also custom designs – whatever the quantity.

Custom Products We specialize in custom design and development to your exact requirements, offering competent advice and support from the initial idea through to the finished product. Our engineering team is ready to assist when needed, ensuring you get exactly the product you need.

PRODUCTION Pulsed Laser Diodes LASER COMPONENTS Canada, Inc. produces pulsed laser diodes in Canada. From a business that started in 2002 in a dark mpty warehouse with only a plan and plenty of e enthusiasm LASER OMPONENTS Canada is now a respected manufacturer and innovator C of high power pulsed laser diodes serving a wide range of global applications. Many factors have contributed to this success, but foremost has been the remarkable effectiveness of the focused and determined team in Canada, working in conjunction with the equally motivated LASER COMPONENTS distribution groups and the...

Custom Solutions – Cost-effective, Even When Produced in Small Amounts Close cooperation between the customer and the manufacturer has been our greatest success factor in manufacturing optimally customized products. Our customers are often pleasantly surprised by how reasonable our prices are for customized products. LASER COMPONENTS Canada develops your pulsed laser diodes (PLDs) suited to your field of application. Almost all product parameters can be adjusted (e.g., wavelength, output power, and housing). It is also possible to develop completely new products. Uncompromising Quality...

PRODUCTION Avalanche Photodiodes LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group, Inc. has produced avalanche photodiodes in Phoenix, Arizona since 2004. In the USA the complete production chain is in our hands. The detectors are based on a specifically developed semiconductor structure. The standard program comprises silicon epitaxy and reach-through APDs with active area diameters from 230 µm to 3.0 mm. The silicon APDs from our in-house production are well suited for the detection of even the smallest amount of light, right down to single photons.

Sophisticated Products using State-of-the-Art Technology The Detector Group is a specialist for orders with individual configurations. Their product range extends from low-cost APDs for commercial applications to high-end components used in military applications: The heart of our photon counting modules originated from this facility: it‘s the VLoK series of APDs used in the detection of the smallest amount of light. Complete receivers are also produced by the Detector Group. They feature high sensitivity and have a wide wavelength range and large frequency width. Since 2017 our new APD...

PRODUCTION Opto-Electronic Systems Stand-alone products, such as our photo iode modules, are manufactured in the electronics d department. This department works particularly closely with our other R&D departments to create user-friendly products. Electronics In-house Product Developments We pay close attention to the requests made by our customers. Many developments were made in accordance with concrete customer specifications; in fact, this has led to the development of different drivers for diodes. Prototype Design Thanks to extensive laboratory equipment, developments can be made very...

Systems As well as components, we develop sub-systems and modules to enable our customers to use our components effectively. Such products include PLD drivers, APD modules and photon counter modules. Photon Counters from One Source Motivated by numerous customer requests, LASER COMPONENTS GmbH ventured the development of photon counters in house in 2010, relying on the know-how of affiliated production facilities in the individual disciplines, avalanche photodiodes and electronics. The exclusive broadband coating of the integrated optics as well as the fiber connector is also manufactured...

APPLICATIONS Pulsed laser diodes and avalanche photodiodes are frequently used together in the same application. We provide both omponents so that you can choose the ideal combination for c your needs. Time-of-flight distance measurement is one of the best-known applications: read on for more details. Photodiode or Avalanche Photodiode Laser Beam The Optimum Performance for Your Application Background Light Pulsed Laser Diode Optoelectronic measurement technology relies on precisely matched components for optimum system performance. It is therefore essential to choose components carefully...

Direct TOF measurement is however not the best method for measuring very short distances due to the extremely high time resolution required, therefore an alternative method known as Laser safety scanner. phase correlation is often used to provide a relative measurement. Here, the laser signal is modulated and the transmitted and reflected beam compared with one another. The distance measured can be calculated from the phase difference between the two signals. Areas of Application Pulsed laser diodes are found in a wide variety of applications including traffic monitoring, SEMICONDUCTOR...
