It may soon be a requirement that drones be able to measure their distance to obstacles. Laser Components offers the components necessary to build inexpensive sensors.
Avalanche Photodiodes
Small and inexpensive: the SAH series avalanche photodiodes are housed in an SMD housing that has an edge length of just 3.1 mm x 1.8 mm. These components are optimized for the wavelengths 850 nm and 905 nm, have a high quantum efficiency, and operate quickly.
Inexpensive Pulsed Laser Diodes
UA series pulsed laser diodes are a good counterpart to the inexpensive APDs. The PLDs achieve power levels of up to 75 W. They are as inexpensive as comparable PLDs in a plastic housing; however, they are of a higher quality with their ultra-precise mechanical tolerances. The hermetically-sealed metal housing has a diameter of 5.6 mm. Thus, the temperature stability of the component is excellent.
Pulsed Laser Diodes with Short Pulses
The pulsed laser diodes that we are ready to introduce are called QuickSwitch®.
This year we will celebrate the introduction of these new components into the market. They are characterized by particularly short pulse widths of just 2.5 ns. A preliminary datasheet is available online under the web code provided. More information will follow over the course of the year.
