Edinburgh EPL Pulsed Diode Lasers

The EPL picosecond pulsed diode lasers are a family of high performance, cost effective excitation sources for fluorescence lifetime measurements.

Features:

• Optimised for TCSPC
• Pre-set repetition frequencies from 20kHz to 20MHz
• External trigger capability
• 375nm, 405nm, 445nm, 450nm, 475nm, 485nm, 510nm, 635nm, 655nm, 670nm, 785nm, 800nm, 980nm
• Spectrally purified output
• Optimised collimated beam
• Extremely low RF radiation
• Fully integrated, compact design

In Time-Correlated 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. They are fitted with integrated bandpass filters to spectrally purify the output.

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.
