European solution for eye-safe sensing and ranging applications. Nanosecond pulse duration, kHz pulse repetition rate and up to 12 µJ pulse energy.
Optical parameters tailorable to customer needs.
VS15 lasers offer factory fixed pulse duration between 1-8 ns according to customer specs and application needs.
These Er-based lasers offer a combination of compactness with high repetition rates up to 50 kHz.
VS15 lasers offer pulse energy up to 12 µJ at 1 kHz, corresponding to several kW of peak power. Laser pulse energy is dependable on pulse repetition rate.

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.
