A compact, application-ready 767 nm nanosecond microchip laser delivering high pulse energy (>10 µJ) at a fixed 1 kHz repetition rate, from a small, integration-friendly footprint.
Optical specifications can be tailored to meet customer-specific requirements.
Factory-set 3–6 ns pulse duration paired with pulse energy exceeding 10 µJ, offering plug-and-play high energy pump source for various applications.
A fixed, well-defined 1 kHz repetition rate with triggering opportunity. Contact us if your application requires different pulse repetition rate.
Optical or electrical trigger-out signal available upon request, supporting precise synchronization with detection and acquisition electronics.
Spectral width under 0.5 nm at 767.2 nm (±1 nm), with pulse-to-pulse intensity variation under ±5% and power stability better than 2% (1 h) / 5% (12 h) standard deviation.
140 × 95 × 70 mm including integrated power and control electronics, with a 54 mm optical height — compact enough for OEM integration and benchtop instruments.
M² < 1.3 beam quality with linearly polarized (1:100) output, available free-space or fiber-coupled, for efficient delivery to the point of measurement.
767 nm sits close to a physiologically relevant hemoglobin absorption band, making the SP07's combination of high pulse energy and nanosecond pulse duration well suited to photoacoustic and optoacoustic imaging research, where sufficient per-pulse energy is needed to generate a usable acoustic signal.
Nanosecond pulses, a low-jitter trigger-out signal, and high per-pulse energy make the SP07 well suited for characterizing photodetectors and timing electronics across a range of signal levels.
High pulse energy supports longer working distances in ranging and sensing applications, where signal return strength at range is the limiting factor.
The SP07 is based on Picophotonics' proprietary Q-switched microchip technology, tuned here for nanosecond pulse durations and higher pulse energy in a compact, alignment-free architecture.
Technology
Applications requiring nanosecond, high-energy pulses in the 700–800 nm spectral region have traditionally relied on Q-switched, OPO-based sources, where a pump laser and nonlinear crystal are combined to generate the desired output wavelength. While highly versatile, OPO systems typically add size, cost, and alignment complexity.
SP07 generates nanosecond pulses at 767 nm directly from a single compact laser head, where wavelength tunability is not required. Optimized for a dedicated operating wavelength, it provides a simpler, more compact, and more cost-effective solution for lab and OEM integration applications.

This laser is built to be driven by your system, not babysat by an operator — suited to benchtop research and integrated instruments alike. Available integration interfaces include:
USB and RS-232 control of laser and TEC operation via a documented command interface, so repetition rate, pulse energy and status are under your software's control.
TTL trigger-in for externally clocked pulse initiation, and a low-jitter optical or electrical trigger-out for precise synchronization with detectors and acquisition.
Free-space or fiber-coupled output with a clean single-frequency spectrum, air or conduction cooling, and documented mounting and thermal-interface guidance.
An alignment-free, monolithic microchip cavity with no consumable optics holds performance across shock, vibration and temperature — suited to portable, airborne and field-deployed systems.
Wavelength, pulse duration (from 50 ps), pulse energy and repetition rate are configurable to your requirements — whether that’s a single research unit or integration into a product. Tell us what you need.
