Autonomous Flight - Products for Distance Measurements

Photonics News No 58

UK58-0410

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 for this purpose.

Avalanche Photodiodes
Small and inexpensive: the SAH series avalanche photodiodes are packaged in an SMD housing that has an edge length of just 3.1 mm x 1.8 mm. These components are optimised for the wavelengths 850 nm and 905 nm, have a high quantum efficiency, and operate quickly.

Inexpensive Pulsed Laser Diodes
The UA series pulsed laser diodes are a good counterpart to the inexpensive APDs, featuring 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 diametre of 5.6 mm, providing excellent temperature stability of the component.

Pulsed Laser Diodes with Short Pulses
We are ready to introduce pulsed laser diodes that are called QuickSwitch®.

This year we will celebrate the introduction of these new components into the market. They are characterised 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.
