High-speed picosecond laser
Product Overview
The high-speed picosecond laser is an instrument widely used in scientific research fields such as laser ranging, optical measurement, and fluorescence lifetime analysis. In recent years, with the development of quantum cryptography, the high-speed picosecond laser has emerged as a core device for generating quantum signals, serving as a single-photon source.
The WT-LD series lasers are optical instruments derived from quantum cryptographic communication systems. They feature low cost, high repetition rate, ultra-narrow pulses, and high stability. Integrating both continuous-wave lasers and ultra-narrow, high-frequency pulsed lasers, these devices represent one of the few high-performance lasers available domestically and internationally that can achieve GHz frequencies with pulse widths on the picosecond scale. The equipment supports multiple standard and custom-level inputs, including LVTTL, LVPECL, NECL, and CML. Thanks to its built-in precision temperature-control circuit, the laser tube’s output wavelength fluctuation is kept below 0.1 nm.
