The PDL 800-B is a stand-alone driver for the picosecond diode laser heads of the LDH-Series (375 to 1550 nm) as well as for the sub-nanosecond pulsed LEDs of PLS-Series (260 to 600 nm). These laser heads can emit light pulses as short as 70 ps FWHM (50 ps on selection) at repetition rates from single shot up to 40 MHz with peak powers up to 1 Watt. The PDL 800-B features easy-to-use controls for pulse width, repetition frequency and laser power level.
